I've traditionally been opposed to adding more such scripts to the LilyPond tree, mostly because I spent way too much time trying to understand what existing and entirely undocumented ones were doing and how they were broken in a zillion ways. My take is that the LilyPond repository must only contain what is needed to build and maintain LilyPond. IMHO a convenience script (as far as I understand it) does not fall into this category, and I would vote *not* to include it. Jonas
