Last change in functionality of abc2ly was

commit 3702169e4b17edbb4bff9331215eccaba6f2d478
Author: Paul Morris <address@hidden>

    abc2ly: Support R (rhythm / meter) and Z (transcription) fields

and the last one before that in 2015 (something related to grace notes).
It has been ported over to Python 3, though.

I don't think there are active plans for anything at the moment (or even
any active developer who had significant involvement with abc2ly), so
feel free to jump in.
