An excellent question/point.
> 1. How stable is the interface of the edition engraver?
Right now, not sufficiently for Mutopia’s needs, I would offer.
However, I know that Jan-Peter is actively working on it, so things should
settle down relatively soon.
> Will the commands to use it change?
See below.
> 2. Will it always be in the current place of OpenLilyLib?
See below.
> 3. Might it get integrated into the core of LilyPond?
This is the key question. Of course, I think it’s abolute must. Personally, I
would assign it as high a priority as MusicXML import/export and other features
with higher visibility/“wow factor”, given how mature its code is relative to
those other items. If/when it is integrated into the core distribution, the
functionality would likely increase and the syntax settle down more quickly,
and be far more stable. However, I have no idea about the timeline or even
interest for such a thing — that would be a question for Lily’s main code
gatekeeper(s).

Agreed.
Cheers,
Kieren.
