At that time there wasn't a great deal of interest amongst the developers to work on this, which I fully understand considering how huge Lilypond is and how many higher priorities there are. I would very much like to hear that considerable work has been done to this feature since I looked at it but, in the event that this is not the case, you might be interested instead in looking at Gregorio ( http://home.gna.org/gregorio/), which is designed for only typesetting Gregorian Chant.
