I'm using a very long paper size, something like "10 * width of video
resolution" (e.g. 10 * 1280, etc.)

Thanks for the feedback!

1) The problem is, I'm a "Python rookie". I know this language for about
half-year, so right now I don't know how to do this.
2) What do you mean exactly? Because most of jerks in videos are created by
YouTube. I really don't know why, but when I watch these videos on my
computer, there are no problems. Maybe it needs higher frame rate, I will
check it out.
3) Yeah, I tried to work with only one long page, but LilyPond generated
that so long, it was unusable... :/ I guess the reasonable maximum of page
width is something between 4-5 meters. That "title issue" was only in alfa
version.
4) Articulation unfortunately doesn't work right now, because I'm
synchronizing notes with MIDI events and I don't know how to separate that
"extra events" of one note. Separate \layout and \midi blocks don't work
too, but I guess I can fix that very easily.

You mean something like sequence of static images of music staff and just
switch between them, when the line reaches the end of one image? I guess I
can add this as an option and just let users to choose what they want to
have.
