On a similar note, I'm using Emacs, and if a DTD existed for lilypond (I'm sure the parser uses something, a BNF grammer or the like), then what about an XML rendition, employing Emacs' PSGML mode, when you could insert XML nodes (via hotkeys, or a menu), use XERCES to validate, then use a stylesheet and XALAN to transform the XML to a .ly file?
