I have got stuck (not due to difficulties but due to lack of time) with
a project improving the code that determines the beaming pattern (i.e.
how many beams will be printed to the left and right of any given stem).
It's fairly straightforward C++ work with not too much issues regarding
the integration in the LilyPond architecture. The difficulty is more in
the inherent logic.
I might use some "assistance" to get that development on track again. If
you'd be interested giving it a look I'd give you some pointers and a
remote branch to get the code from. Just send me a PM (or reply on-list).
Best
