I stopped doing sponsored work on LilyPond. I'm forwarding your message to the lilypond-devel forum. Maybe you can someone there can help you.
** Dear Sir, I would like to start negotiating with you about me sponsoring the feature in Lilypond which would add the full support of footnotes, i.e. markup which would at certain place make a sign (a number, for example) and at the footer (alternatively in the margin of the page) of the page there would be the sentence of small paragraph with the text of the footnote. The numbers/symbols to use should be customizable to certain extent - for example numbering each page separately, or numbering each piece separately, or numbering whole book in a series. The Lilypond should automatically keep the footnotes on the same page where they occur and automatically calculate the space needed in the footer for the footenote text to occupy. This function is called for by many users already for several years as I read in the lilypond forum, and I think it is still not there. For musicologists this is the main feature - I am now setting up means in Lilypond for my work which should span over 3 years, editing about 800 pages of mediaeval Czech chant - the critical edition - and footnote would be very requirement for this work to be easy. So, please, if you are willing to do this, please estimate the expenses and perhaps I will pay it myself, or alternatively I will try to find more people supporting the feature with the help of your internet webpage - as you state on your internet pages.
