Hi Mats,  Adjusting the pitch positions in LilyPond is actually not as
difficult as it may seem.  Here's a snippet that shows re-mapping the staff
to a chromatic scale:

But you can set the staffLineLayoutFunction to any scheme procedure, which
makes it possible to get any positioning you might want.

How are the notes positioned on Westhoff's staff with unequally spaced staff
lines?  I couldn't tell from a quick glance.
