Well, I don't like the idea of keeping whole packages in LSR, which is 
particularly meant for "Snippets". LSR is simply not suited as a package 
repository, where you need to keep track of versions, updates, good 
documentation, FAQ's, installation instructions, etc.

Furthermore, I'm releasing the parts that I wrote under the GPL (mainly 
because I don't want to give up all rights (yet?)), so putting everything 
into the LSR is also not possible due to licensing issues.

About putting parts into the LSR: The first 350 lines are the code for 
score/staff/group generation, so they really belong together and are the core 
of the package. They also require some score-settings (e.g. to display staff 
group brackets also for a single staff  -- which is is already in LSR 
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=201).

I've already submitted the cue note functions to the LSR:

Similarly with the "sempre pp/ff" dynamic alignment:

Again, I don't think the LSR should be a package repository (in particular, I 
don't think that Nicolas' package should be there, either). For the (still 
very small number of) packages it would be better to have a separate section 
on the homepage, which proper documentation. 
In particular, the LSR does allow for exactly one source file and one output 
file, so a demonstration of features or a tutorial ar not possible. Look at 
Nicolas' style sheet. I think it's really a shame that no example of the 
fantastic output is given, but instead only some lilypond code, which gives 
only an impression what you have to write, but not what the output will be 
(title page, toc, header style, etc). 

Cheers,
Reinhold
