Well, I'm not sure if we would want to develop the editor in the same
source tree as LilyPond...

I think, at least for now, it would be best to work in a separate
repo, add the editor to GUB eventually, and see where things go from
there.

So, in order words, if we keep it in a separate code base, we don't
need to worry about the 2.14 dependency freeze.
