Hello, I too would like to do a lilypond-related GSoC project. I'm doing the final year of my MSc degree in mathematical physics, sing in a choir and occasionally use lilypond to typeset some choral scores; not yet familiar with its internals though.
I've been working much with numerical codes in C++ and python, including much interpolation, optimization and tweaking heuristic models, so the tie/slur appearance project seems a great fit for me. It's also something where I want improvement as a user of lilypond. Could you comment why it may not be suited for GSoC?
