I could not resist to try that... David's tool is a really cool thing. 
The most recent code I know of is here: 
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/box-around-notes-td35581.html#a170648

Here's a first result: 
box-to-ellipse.ly

box-to-ellipse.pdf
<http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n195915/box-to-ellipse.pdf>  

It's only a first step and not yet usable for any case.
I simply replaced the (rectangular) boxes by ellipses. However, not
everything inside the rectangle is covered by the ellipse. There is a
property "padding" that can be used to generally increase the size of the
ellipses. 
Also, there is no support for line breaks so far, as a "broken" ellipse will
result in two separate ellipses. 

Cheers, 
Klaus
