Some time ago Antonio worked on it, see https://ao2.it/tmp/lilypond-guile2/ https://ao2.it/tmp/lilypond-guile2/TODO Some patches (but slightly different) are now in master, all in dev/guile-v2-work (you'd need to rebase dev/guile-v2-work and solve some merge-conflicts, if you'd try to build from this branch) My plan was to put all of his patches into master with if-guilev2-conditions. Though, it was the agreement not to go for guile2 for lilypond-2.20.0, so I didn't continue, because I didn't want to disturb the 2.20.-release or distracting from it. Also, it's the question which guile-version we should aim at. Antonio's patches are made for guile-2.0, but guile-2.2 is far more promising, imho.
