Hey Janek,

Sorry for the lack of review - today is my first day off in a long time!

I saw in one of your patch sets that you use the word "parent" to name a 
function that takes grobs me and him.  If there is no longer a parental 
relationship built into the function, it's worth changing the name of the 
function.

In the stop_translation_timestep method of the lyric engraver, lyrics are given 
note heads as parents.  Could you send a minimal where the lyrics are 
unassociated from note-heads?

Cheers,
MS
