Re: mutopia's shortcomings

Dear Kieren,

> With the edition-engraver, there is (a) no need to mix layout with contents

I already wanted to submit a score to Mutopia using the edition
engraver. But I finally used ordinary tweaks because we were not sure
how future proof this is. This bings me to my questions:

1. How stable is the interface of the edition engraver?
   Will the commands to use it change?

2. Will it always be in the current place of OpenLilyLib?

3. Might it get integrated into the core of LilyPond?
   (Currently it is not guaranteed that OLL is available when Mutopia
   scores are compiled, so its usage is complicated)

Because it does not make sense to improve the maintainability of a large
set of scores by relying on a functionality that has to be adapted
manually in future and thus produces more manual interventions.

To be clear, I like the edition engraver very much.

Cheers,
Joram
