Thanks Neil; that's the encouragement I needed :)

Good idea.  Will do.

Well, they'll be based on TabStaff/TabVoice rather than
Staff/Voice contexts.  I think I prefer to have Tab in the
name as that is what they are - Lute Tablature.

I'm nearly ready to start, but I have one problem.
Here's what I've done:

Install Sun VirtualBox - done, ok
Install Ubuntu - done, ok (thanks Jonathan!)
Upgrade Ubuntu to 9.10 - done, ok
Make git repo - done, ok
Compile Lily and Docs - done, ok
Install keys - done, ok
Test push - done, ok

Run make test-baseline - Problem!
 Appears to run without serious error (console log below), but all
 images in collated-files.html are broken because they are .png
 but no .png files have been generated, just .eps.  Any ideas?

Console log:
