I hate to admit it, but it looks like a game changer of strategic
importance to me.  People tend to pick LilyPond to get the best
typesetting.

But this would rather make quite a few people pick LilyPond just to get
a certain _look_.  That this look is still done using good typesetting
will be a secondary consideration to them.  At least at first.
