Well, we were not rushing this indeed.  But it turned out more like a
Gradual LilyPond Input Syntax Streamlining.

I think our main problem, both with regard to syntax/input as well as
typesetting, remains piano music and piano extracts and similarly
musically dense material.  LilyPond's slur/stem/beam/notehead/duration
relations with the context hierarchy are too rigid to do quite a bit of
musical information justice.  And where stuff can be done, the input
required for doing so is awful.
