Notation is never just so.  It's possibly the most open-ended
field I've ever written code for.  If I wasn't prepared to accept
the fact that there's always more to be done, I'd have gone mad
long ago.

That's not so much the case with other bits of the program, which
are much easier to walk away from.

Anyway, in this case the new Lilypond output is something I'm
reasonably pleased with, and the notation quantizer is good code
handling a very hard job -- it's just that it fails in a very
particular way in the example I was talking about.  And so I'd
like to try to fix that, at some point.  (The particular way is
that it doesn't do a good job of telling the difference between
the start of Stairway to Heaven and a slowly strummed chord.)

You have a point, of course, and you're right.  But this is a
devel list, and I do think negative comments directed towards
improving the software in ways that I can actually do something
about are entirely permissible here.
