Re: lilypond, guile, qt integration

[Mats Bengtsson]

I forward this to lilypond-devel, which is more appropriate for discussions
about this experimental feature.

As far as I know, this experimental feature was introduced in 2004, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2004-05/msg00160.html
but hasn't been maintained since then and it seems that all remainders of
this experiment has been removed in the current source code.

Perhaps you could use the SVG backend for something useful.
