This is fine.

Will do that, probably not immediately but in one or two weeks.

BTW, what about this:

  in:
    (ID FONT-NAME MAGNIFICATION TEXT)

  out:
    (ID FONT-NAME MAGNIFICATION BBOX-LIST)

Not a great difference (and it really doesn't matter), but the out
file becomes smaller...

Theoretically, the `ID' field could be completely dropped, since the
order of strings emitted by lilypond equals the order of strings
emitted by TeX.
