Sorry, I came on too strong there. I didn't mean to say that
writing snippets is not a good introduction -- it's probably the
best introduction we have. In fact, I myself began with lilypond
by working on snippets (they were called "input/test/" back then)!
I'm disappointed that there hasn't been more interest in LSR, and
more volunteers working on it [1]. But that's a social problem,
not a technical one. If we can solve that social problem, I'd be
much more ethusiastic about defending the status quo [2].
[1] of course there was some recent interest in this. But to put
some numbers on it: I was expecting ~3 contributors per year to do
serious work within LSR, and to have ~1 new LSR editor per year.
I think that over the lifetime of LSR (i.e. 7 years) we've had
about 5 contributors doing serious work and 2 or 3 editors.
[2] I mean, "defending the status quo" for positive reasons, not
just because "it'll be a big mess to change anything".
