GSoC spanners project

[Nathan Chou]

Hello all,

I am a second-year student studying computer science at UCLA, and I
will be working on the cross-voice spanners project this summer as
part of the Google Summer of Code program. I'm glad to have this
opportunity to contribute to Lilypond---I've written music with
Lilypond before and liked how I could simply write the notes in text
without fiddling around with a GUI.

Currently I am still familiarizing myself with the existing code
(especially the portions for parsing and engraving spanners), before
considering how to change it. I will likely have more to say (and ask)
once I have a better idea of how the project will proceed. Thanks to
Jan-Peter (my mentor), Urs, and everyone for their support!

Best,
Nathan
