Hi Bart,
thanks for reminding.

I asked on the texlive mailing list, and I got an answer, but I didn't
manage following through

So the workaround would be to either update the helper scripts to
Python 3 or to drop these scripts. Off the top of my head I don't know
how important these scripts actually are or how complex it would be to
update them.
They are used to create sets of new notation elements. IIRC.My personal
gut feeling would be to drop support for lilyglyphs altogether because
lyluatex can do everything lilyglyphs can, and better - i.e. without
the need for pre-compiled PDFs. But - and that's a big but - the
advantage of lilyglyphs is that it doesn't need to run LilyPond. *I*
will always have LilyPond around, but for a general audience this would
be a major limitation, I think.
Opinions?
