Any news on LilyPond 2.14 release date?

[Gerard McConnell]

I saw musicologyman's post about "double slurs

within beamed notes" and didn't quite have the

answer to his question, but realized  that the edit

he wants to perform is exactly the sort of thing that is

simple to do when you use LilyPond's SVG output. 

Open the SVG file in Inkscape0.47 and edit absolutely

anything in the score in any way you want.

 

Which brings me to my two questions -

1.  Is there any significant downside (print quality?)

to using Inkscape to edit LilyPond files? 

2. When is LilyPond 2.14 likely to be released?

Subject: double slurs within beamed notes

I've been struggling to replicate the placement of slurs and ties in the following original:

Problem is, I can't get the slurs and ties to appear _within_ the beamed note. They always appear above the beam if the stem is up and below if the stem is down:

I've tried all sorts of things: hidden notes shifted as appropriate in order to position the slurs and ties in the desired location, hidden notes within a context that has the Collision_engraver removed, and so on. I've even considered manually (and tediously!) setting the control points for each slur. But there must be a better way!
