GSOC and stylesheet work

[Daniel Benjamin Miller]

Hi all:

I'm an undergraduate student at McGill University. As I've personally 
wanted to tweak LilyPond to improve the stylistic output of my scores, I 
was hoping to do some work on LilyPond this summer, perhaps through 
GNU's involvement in GSOC. I have some background in font design 
(although mostly with outline fonts, not METAFONT, as I've only messed 
around with that), and would be interested in improving either the font 
or stylesheet support (so, sort of touching on two suggestions in the 
project list from last year). My main caveat is that I'm not especially 
experienced in Scheme (mostly having just messed around with it for 
LilyPond purposes), though I'm eager to learn more and interested in 
working on these issues, esp. if a mentor is available.

Are there any comments/suggestions on the current status of these 
components and what I might be best advised to look at/work on?

Thanks!
