Well, this is up to you and Joe  (since you guys do 90% of the new 
features).  When you add a new feature to lilypond, in addition to 
adding a regtest, please add a snippet that demonstrates the feature to 
the appropriate subdir of input/tolsr/ .  (this snippet might be an 
exact copy of the regtest)

ie if you add a new page spacing feature, it would go in
input/tolsr/spacing/
(I'll create all the subdirs of input/tolsr/  in a few days; "spacing" 
currently doesn't exist)

When LSR uses the version of lilypond that includes those features (ie 
the next stable release), everything in input/tolsr/ will be moved into 
LSR and deleted from git.  Alternately, we could just use the NEWS.tely 
for all such features -- and strictly enforce the "no new features 
without a NEWS item, even if there's a regtest".


The whole idea behind the tolsr "dumping ground" was to make it easier 
for developers to document new features.
