Ha! Java, maybe (after some skill-dusting).

Glad I could help.  ;)

Holy moly. That role should have just been called "Lily-Kierens".  =)

Yes please! This year, I'm taking a sabbatical [from my ongoing composition 
career] expressly to get my old scores engraved and published. The first step 
is to get my current hodge-podge of stylesheet stuff into a house style. I 
would be happy to use my house style as our sandbox, ComMent (see what I did 
there?) accordingly/helpfully along the way, and then write up the 
documentation once we get the system "perfected".

Happy to ComMent that, too…

Hmmm… Not as much.
*BUT* I do have some other GSoC ideas brewing — see separate response (coming 
soon).

Thunk. And I'm in.

Best,
