This sounds like it would be a very useful tool for lots of people, and I'd be 
happy to try and contribute.

Question -- is the long-term plan to keep it as a standalone project, or to 
eventually have a set of tools that are sufficiently well defined and developed 
as to be incorporated into Lilypond itself?  I can see advantages either way.

By the way, one remark on your excellent tutorial using the Schoenberg example. 
 I don't know if UE will give you the rights to do this, but it would be very 
useful to have a copy of the original engraving of the bars in question for 
comparison purposes.

Best wishes,
