LilyPond excels at *vertical* malleability, but it's nearly disastrous when it 
comes to horizontal malleability, as I recently opined in another thread. 
Changes to metrical structure, and adding/deleting bars, are difficult, if not 
excruciating. I would argue that these tasks are at least as common, if not 
more common, then the ones you mention here.
