If the problem that humans can’t fly unassisted can be worked around [by way of aircraft], why must we continue to have the problem that humans can’t fly unassisted? ;) More seriously: 1. Even just adequately defining the problem-space is non-trivial. Feel free to shepherd a thread where we do that — I would be happy to contribute! 2. Once the problem-space is adequately defined, someone needs to code the changes necessary to make Lilypond “Do The Right Thing™”. This is non-trivial in general, and may be even less trivial in this specific case. But, as is often stated on this list: patch submissions are always welcome!
