Yes, using this symbols will make sense if someone has an editor with
appropriate shortcuts.
Personally i would welcome adding this to LilyPond (rather than having
it as LSR snippet), as it seems to me that supporting this "language"
doesn't cost us anything.  BTW, i would call this language "symbolic",
as it's not really english but something quite universal.

Marc, i can help you with contributing process if necessary, but only
via Skype - i don't have enough time to email regularly (and Skype is
more time-effective).  Actually, it'd be probably better if someone
else could help you :)

best,
