Apart from all was said before:
This snippet was discussed in the german forum and I finally approved
it, although I was not really satisfied by some parts of it. It's not
tagged docs.

I tried to find a balance between getting the snippet improved and not
scaring away a new contributor.
Nevertheless I'll drop a note there linking to this thread.

That said, best would be to find a method to make it work with all
languages, at least the ones defined in LilyPond.
Will think about it ...
