I thought there may be a roadmap that contributors create? Or is current development just more or less ad hoc?
Like most community-driven free software projects, LilyPond is developed as a hobby by contributors who do that each for their own reasons, as a loosely assembled team of people all around the world. There is no manager. There isn't, can't be and shouldn't be a precise roadmap. Each person works on what they have the motivation for at a given point of time. For large projects, it's often a good idea to discuss proposals on the mailing list, but this is more to get approval and discuss the big picture of a plan than anything else. Implementing the plan remains contingent on the contributor who proposes it. This is not a description of LilyPond's current development, but of how LilyPond's and many software projects' development has always worked. Would you imagine a roadmap for openLilyLib, for example? You can't imagine what contributors are going to come up with, and if you put a feature on your roadmap, is there a way to get it implemented other than doing it yourself? Best, Jean
