Strange, I didn't know that. I'm not very tight-assed about this, but
I feel it's asking for trouble when not using TABs, so I prefer those.
Mixing indentation widths (2, 3, 4 spaces and TABS) is certainly taboo
(for continuation lines it does not matter.

I don't know, we're trying to be GNU-ish, but we don't have anything
defined (yet :-). lilypond-book is the latest thing we (fully
re-)wrote, so a quick look at that should give you a good impression.
Oh, there's something about gettext and strings, I think we try to use
double quotes for user strings, single quotes for code strings.

Certainly, that's really broken. In that department, fixes are always
most welcome.
