For anyone who composes directly in Lilypond, this could be a useful feature.
Personally, I don’t — I compose using paper and pen/pencil, and then engrave in
Lilypond — so if such a feature were added, I would want it to be optional
(i.e., not the default).

I agree. But maybe Reggie will add the feature (yay, open source!), and it
might help others who want to use Lilypond in a way that is more similar to
other engraving applications.
Cheers,
Kieren.
