How will that be done? Are there big architecture changes planned? 

I fully understand Paul's frustrations regarding the intermingled syntax of 
lily and scheme constructs (just beginning to understand it a bit).

I think a big improvement to the documentation would be even more examples of 
how to set a property. This as already been done to a big degree, but in the 
more advanced documentation it is sometimes difficult to find. So e.g. change 
a sentence like 'set max-stretch to zero' to '\set Staff.VerticalAxisGroup 
#'max-stretch #0', or add such an explanation etc.

While busy learning lilypond (and writing a new mup2ly script) I hope also to 
be able to help a bit with this kind of things. I just love the beast that is 
LilyPond :)

With best regards,
Wilbert Berendsen
