I saw the post but was not sure quite how to interpret it.  Could you
write up some more extensive notes on the algorithm and its aims and
possibilities?

I did wonder if the fact it was Haskell code was part of the reason for
the lack of response.  I have a lot of admiration for Haskell but I can
see there being problems extending Lilypond with yet another language.
