Hmm?  IIRC to use "the LilyPond method" you don't need to transcribe
the entire score, just the fragment you want to quote.  Be sure to add
appropriate number of skips to have it appear at the right moment.

I'm sorry if it will sound harsh, but compared to some other things i
definitely won't call it serious...  And it's not on the list for
2.16, unless you pay someone to fix it (i recommend David Kastrup).  I
hope this won't discourage you, but i don't expect it to be on 2.18
list, too - i guess it will be fixed in, like, 2 years or so.  Our
development resources are *really that limited*.  So, please seriously
consider fixing it yourself (we will provide basic guidance to you) or
paying David.
