As I said, I'm not going to be working on any LilyPond this month, but I think the best of those is vector-2d, which has the problems of being too long and too easily confused with Scheme vectors. Whatever. I haven't used vectors in the PostScript code, but I used them in the SVG polygon code, and if I get a chance to refactor LilyPond's output system this summer, I expect to use them much more heavily in both PS and SVG.
