(Isn't there a timing problem at the second triplet?)

If it is possible to do it, it might be great to be able to do the  
timing on per note and note-group basis - for interpretation and also  
generating feedback on what values to choose.

Also, the typesetting program has a cool feature where notes written  
with equal time can be swinged. - Some guys on the Usenet newsgroup  
rec.music.theory found this feature great for experimenting with.

One problem with those is that in LilyPond code one does not write  
them in the diatonic note system, as the other notes, but only  
graphically.
