Thanks for the feedback. Definitely really helpful. I'll have another chance to look at it later tonight. I'll email you then with any questions I have (and I presume I will have many).

I welcome any and all feedback >to improve this, and really hope to get to work on this in the summer! Thanks for sharing your proposal. It's a great start. The major challenge I see with the proposal right now is that it's somewhat superficial. It could have been written by someone who just read what's available on the mailing list, and doesn't reflect much understanding of what goes on under the hood in LilyPond. I realize that getting in to LilyPond is a big undertaking, but I think you could make the proposal shine if you had a bit more clarity on how your work will fit within the greater aspect of LilyPond. For example, your midterm goal is to complete the implementation of the new representation. But what does that mean? When the implementation is complete, what will we see? Does it change any input or output? If it doesn't, how will we know that the implementation is complete? Note that I'm not arguing that you need to have input or output by the midterm deadline. I'm just asking some questions to try to help you clarify what "implementation is complete" means. The more specific you can be, the better we will be able to judge your ability to complete the project. Let me know if you have more questions.
