That sounds great.  I would really like to be able to do settings like 
in the Kilberry book.  I'm not concerned at all with having sound files 
generated as they wouldn't be very accurate for note timings anyway (not 
an insult to lilypond.  Bagpipe music and piobaireachd in particular 
have very strange note lengths that often don't correlate to the note 
printed).
