I am one of the biggest cheerleaders of the edition-engraver: I use it on 
literally every score I engrave, and likely use it more than anyone with the 
exception of Jan-Peter himself. I would like nothing better than to see it 
either incorporated into the main Lilypond codebase, or at least coded in the 
optimal possible way (from the standpoints of performance, interface, API, 
etc.) to integrate as well as possible with Lilypond proper.

Whatever I can do to facilitate this process, please let me know.

Best,
Kieren.
