You're right that it takes quite a lot. It'd be nice to simplify this through
a set of macros for piano music, which we can discuss as these things get
developed.

LilyPond's advanced user interface is all Scheme, but most of the problem's
you're identifying need low-level C++ work in addition to Scheme work. I'll
contact you off-list to talk more about that, as it is a bit technical.

You're right. This is the type of thing for which general functionality
(turning engravers on and off temporarily) can be written in C++. It'd be
possible to do as well in Scheme for any given custom engraver, but this seems
like the type of feature that'd be nice to have for all engravers.
