Without having even looked at the problem, let me add that the
programming/Scheme layer of LilyPond often allows to _map_ a problem
description in composer terms to an approach in LilyPond terms.  So
sometimes finding a consistent way of describing and structuring a
problem may garner the necessary help from the list that then provides a
solution that talks to the user in composer terms, and to the program in
LilyPond terms.

End of pontification.  Just something that tends to lurk in the back of
my mind and sometimes might give a different outlook on a problem.
