Probably something like GSoC for "grace timing" would be overkill.
OTOH, if a student starts from a blank slate and mentoring is not
doing half the job already on its own, there might be less time left
after a _good_ solution has been implemented than one might think.

Sorry, i don't understand.  Do you think that grace timing is too
small or too big for GSoC?

It _sounds_ too small, but may turn out to be quite a number.
Basically, it requires a solid understanding of iterators, analyzing the
music events occuring in grace situations, designing iteration orders
useful for typesetting and MIDI replay, and making everything work with
them.  Iterators are not really the best documented corner of LilyPond.

That might be another good avenue for a GSoC proposal - improving code documentation, which would therefore make it easier to get new contributors on board.
