What makes you think I haven't looked at Lilypond in depth? Batch processing is a stupid idea with modern computing power. Text entry for musical data is a completely non-musical and unfriendly way to get the data into the computer. Someday, perhaps they'll have a GUI for the musical data. When that day comes, it will be worth looking at for regular notational use. For now, it's only use is server-side score rendering, so far as I can tell. -- David W.
