Starting in November, I plan to contribute 200 Euros per month to
Han-Wen, for at least 4 months and perhaps 6 months, for whatever work
he happens to do on LilyPond.

If he wishes to take into account some of my own personal preferences,
my own "wish-list" includes the cross-staff chords you mentioned, as
well as automatic and manual tie formatting (Han-Wen mentioned that
during the last tie-rewrite, he thought of a possibly better way to
rewrite the tie code), and the higher-level \override mentioned at the
open-features URL above.

Monthly pledges might make it easier on the budgets of cosponsors, for
features that will require a relatively greater amount of Han-Wen's time
and effort. If anyone else considers cross-staff chords, tie formatting
(automatic and manual) and the higher-level \override functionality
important, he or she might wish to consider joining me in making monthly
pledges as mentioned above. Just an idea-- ;-)
