Are you referring to the first link I shared? That was to a snippet from the 
LSR. See here[1] for more information on what the LSR is. I don't know who the 
author of that snippet is, but it was not me. David's code appears to be an 
extension of that snippet, so while I have gotten a lot of use out of the 
original snippet I will use his superior one instead from now on.

Neither of the snippets in this thread are under the GPL. Lilypond itself is 
GPLv3, but LSR snippets are public domain and David's code is MIT. If you are 
worried that you might be using the latter in an objectional way, David N is 
the one you should talk to, although as David K pointed out you are unlikely to 
be sued over copyright here.

Also, not that it matters in this context, I don't think that the GPL requires 
you to return your modifications to the original author. I suggest reading 
more[2][3][4] about this license.

I've never used lyluatex (though I plan to eventually) so I'm afraid that I 
can't help you with this.

I suspect that it would be easier to debug roman_numeral_analysis_tool.ily 
until it works with lyluatex than to start from scratch. Either way, I'd be 
interested to see what you come up with.

Good luck,
