For anyone who composes directly in Lilypond, this could be a useful feature. Personally, I don’t — I compose using paper and pen/pencil, and then engrave in Lilypond — so if such a feature were added, I would want it to be optional (i.e., not the default). > I think LilyPond's current output behavior is ideal, since it very precisely > renders exactly what you input.

But maybe Reggie will add the feature (yay, open source!), and it might help others who want to use Lilypond in a way that is more similar to other engraving applications.
