Hi, I like lilypond very much and use it for writing scores for my choir. I would love to use it for gregorian (square) notation also, but for this lilypond output is simply not satisfiable. It is obvious from examle given in current documentation: <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-big-page#Ancient-notation>. Comparing with Ideas of lilypond essay <http://lilypond.org/web/about/automated-engraving/> there is a big contradiction. There are many issues, as discussed already few times, for example here: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2006-03/msg00224.html> The main issue IMO is spacing. As Juergen Reuter 32 months ago writes: "Right, horizontal spacing is a known issue in Gregorian chant notation in Lily. It has been discussed in the past more than once, though without finding a good and easy-to-implement solution."
I can believe, it is not easy at all, but I would like to find a way how to change/improve it. I could offer my time (some little part of it), some amount of money, my knowledge in this area (gregorian chant)... Maybe I could do some coding also, but I don't know python yet and because of complexity of the problem it would definitely require some leading. Where to begin?
