Do you know about GLISS
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/contributor-big-page#grand-lilypond-input-syntax-standardization-_0028gliss_0029)?
 It's planned for this summer (never mind obsolete dates in
Contributors' Guide), and it may help with many of your (valid)

organizing some?) discussions.

Btw, have you read my articles in previous LilyPond Report?
