Hmm... It seems like a large project. My first thoughts are that such an advanced notation editor (ANE) would have to be able to completely replace Lilypond, since a system where you need to work: ANE->RG->Lilypond would be pretty frustrating to work with. Also, - depending on how you work - it would probably effect your work process. I usually start with the sequencer and make stuff sound right. Then I care about making it readable (and then I export to Lilypond and pretty-print). I'm not sure putting the advanced notation facilities first in the process is good. Maybe a set of use cases would be good. I think I have a pretty consistant idea of how repeats could behave without looking bizarre on the segment canvas.
