Nice to read this thread.
I'm wondering what about more modern or 'light' music, like POP and 
Jazz? How does it compare in this area? And what should be and can be 
done to improve Lilypond here? There where some threads about Jazz 
chords, will they be improved for example? And the horizontal spacing? I 
know people are working on tablature which is nice and I think Lilyond 
could become a very useful application for tablature 'notesetters'.

Looking forward to comments.
