Valentin,

I am sorry I have disappeared from the Lilypond scene for a while.
My work on Lilypond development has been temporarily put on the back 
burner.  Right now, we are concentrating on something slightly 
different: we are working to secure a very large Lilypond-based 
contract, for a major series of critical editions by a major publisher 
(I'm not allowed to divulge any details yet including who the publisher 
is, but I am sure everyone on this list is familiar with the name).  IF 
we are successful, it will mean a radical breakthrough in acceptance for 
Lilypond.  Some time ago, I was talking about how I wanted to transform 
Lilypond from "a volunteer project with limited resources" (Graham's 
definition), into a professional open-source project where at least some 
of the core people can afford to spend non-trivial amounts of time on 
their passion.  I'll come back as soon as I have something to announce 
(either good or bad).
