Music notation is complex.  Any ASCII representation of
music notation likewise has to be complex.
Any simplification of lilypond syntax must mean a removal
of features.

The only other alternative is to use a WYSIWYG
editor where you "draw" the musical notation you
want, and good luck waiting for an flexible open-source
version of such a program with quality output.

Or maybe Frescobaldi will someday evolve to something
like this, I have yet to investigate the interface.

P.S.  Perl was a bad example, but the latex comparison
was valid.
