Well... if I get around to working on the Emacs mode at some point of
time, it is likely that there will be a LilyPond process running
continuously (or rather, sitting at a GUILE command line prompt) that
Emacs will use for translating note languages, figure out syntax,
convert absolute to relative, transpose and so on.

But it's not more than hot air right now.
