It will likely end up being mostly my chore again, I guess.  Not that I
have any noteworthy experience with Python, but the alternative to
getting the automatisms to work because nobody else does is doing all
the work manually because nobody else does.  Of course, spending my own
savings on this because nobody else does.

At least you gave it a serious try which is more than can be said for
the lion's share of people making use of LilyPond.
