I'm sure someone has brought this up before, but I've been thinking a bit about the way users tweak output in Lilypond. As it is, tweaks are generally interspersed with actual music information. This seems to make things difficult when someone tries to maintain a part that has to be transposed a couple different ways, or printed on different paper sizes, or whatever. The web deals with this problem through CSS, and I would suggest that Lilypond might do something similar: let users name timesteps, timestep edges, measures, and categories of such, and format them according to a separate program. Obviously this would be loads of work, and I don't even know if it would be feasible, but that's what I'm thinking.
it would actually be fairly trivial. You can already \tag music events; you'd only need to write an engraver that catches tagged grobs, and applies any grob properties necessary.
