This is so freakin' awesome.  Man I love open source!
Thanks so much for taking this on.  I'll just make one
general recommendation for the future: when posting on the
mailing list, always include links to non-obvious references
(especially Rietveld patches, which can be hard to find via
search).  Even if the discussion is fresh on the mailing
list, if you're starting a new thread, leave some
breadcrumbs.  Someone "from the outside" wanting to help out
will be able to jump in more easily.

Another note: I see some discussion in the comments
regarding my idiosyncratic use of @lilypond[] options, and
set-default-paper-size, etc.  I do recall putting those in
for good reason, but now I regret not commenting them.  I
have a vague memory that these choices were based on
comparing the results in both the html and the pdf output.
Have you checked both?  I seem to recall having to go
through some hoops to get the pdf stuff looking
satisfactory.  If you have some time (unfortunately I
don't), it might be worth exploring.  I guess you could
compare the pdf differences between my original settings and
your revised settings.

But big thanks again (to you and the other reviewers) for
keeping this alive.
