The most useful and simple tool I've had the pleasure to work on lilypond
files with, is Nicolas Sceaux's lyqi mode (lilypond quick insert). There is
only one thing wrong with it: it's for emacs. I therefore decided to make
my own version of it for vim. I also decided to do it mostly in python and
not in vimscript, both because of the latter's slightly arcane syntax, and
because I eventually expect to take advantage of some of the midi oriented
modules that exist for python.

These are plans for the future; at the moment, it is hardly more than a
skeleton. I didn't know any python before I started this, and my vim-script
abilities are limited. However, following the principle "release early and
often", I now make it available, with all necessary qualifications, if
anyone is interested either to use it or to participate.

One thing that is missing, is a proper plugin architecture, so I wouldn't
recomment putting it in the ~/.vim/plugins folder, but the file
lyqi-all.vim can be sourced, and the main function Lyqi_key() called. There
is some documentation in the file, which is located at 

http://repo.or.cz/w/lyqi-vim.git

I welcome comments and contributions.
