Indentation goes downhill completely sometimes (in particular when using
things like -> accents) and is hopeless regarding Scheme. Syntax
highlighting can be rather weird. There is no automatic conversion
between absolute and relative modes, or editor-level transpositions or
augmentation. Syntax can't distinguish between chord mode, lyrics,
markups and so on. You can't start a new Lilypond compilation before
killing your viewer. You can't, say, quickly play the notes of a
passage without running them through Lilypond (since Emacs does not
understand the notes it sees). Bar detection barfs on encountering the
first bar. You can't let bars be entered automagically.
