One might transform it first to readable ornament styles. For example, \prall
might expand to a \grace note construction. And \trill might expand to \repeat
tremolo 2 {...}.

It would be good with a way to customize styles. It seems that the expansions
now follow Baroque conventions. For example, \trill starts on the auxiliary
note, whereas in modern use it is the main note. Also, I write ornaments so
they are expected to expand on the 32nd notes, so I noted that the auto-timing
feature would have funny effect on some notes.

LilyPond does not yet handle ornaments like \trill, \prall, \mordent and \turn
with accidentals on them, so that can’t be handled properly. One idea to
implement such a feature would be indicating two notes, as in \transpose, as
LilyPond does not seem to have a notion of intervals. It would then alos work
with microtonal accidentals.
