Hi Kieren,
You're wasting your time, Bruce has been told what you're explaining
(the data vs layout stuff) several times, but keeps on complaining:
according to him, syntax changes are never justified, and he should not
be the one making an effort when changing LilyPond version; Han-Wen
should, by providing ten year backward compatibility. Freely.
