Hi,

I haven't been able to follow the entire discussion, but on the point

I have written a small tutorial for first year music technology  
students (in Dutch, link: http://kmt.hku.nl/~maurits/doku.php? 
id=lilypond:start ). The intention was to facilitate users without  
any knowledge about programming or the use of Lilypond with learning  
the basic concepts behind notating music using Lilypond and providing  
them thus with enough knowledge and experience to enable them to use  
the online user manual on lilypond.org.

I am gladly offering to translate this tutorial into English if this  
would be useful.
