GSoC rendering improvements

[Corey F]

Hi all,

I'd be interested in working on either of two projects suggested for 
Google Summer of Code, most likely "Improve beaming" but perhaps instead 
"Improve slurs and ties".

Though LilyPond isn't currently my notation tool of choice, I believe I 
do have an exacting aesthetic sense that would be useful to these 
projects, and I have a solid background in C++ from school.

I don't currently have further specific ideas beyond the outline given 
on the LilyPond website, but any insights into these projects, and how I 
should best form a GSoC proposal, would definitely be welcome.

Thanks,
Corey
