That's not terribly different, you might just have to hack their code to
something else. So instead of:

if pitch == csharp:
    drawsomething(blue)

you would modify it to:

if pitch == csharp:
    runmyprogram(now)

or something to that effect. I'm not sure how they've implemented their
visualization, but they're going to have some type of notification. Perhaps
it's continuous, so you create a threshold.
