Thank you for taking the time with LilyPond.

What I suggest you do is make a git formatted patch (based on current
master) and upload it to Rietveld which is our standard Code Review
method.

See:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/contributor-big-page.html#uploading-a-patch-for-review

There are some pre-requisites that will need setting up in terms of
your Google Code review login and if you are intending to do more
patches in the future you may want to apply for write access to the
Tracker

See:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/contributor-big-page#commit-access

If this is just a one-off patch then you can send it to this group
(please make sure that you include a short but informative commit
message) and one of us can shepherd this patch for you.

Regards

James
