It's about a system developed at the Sibelius Academy and dedicated to

It comes with PWGL, that is a program for algorithmic music similar to the old PatchWork from IRCAM. But it seems less developed.

 It expressly cites Lilypond's approach as an
inspiration.

I wonder why not just work with Lilypond, or even modify Lilypond if necessary to atend contemporary notation. It's easier to humans to understad and it's already working ok :-) Maybe it has to do with the render time????
 

Its syntax looks a lot less friendly than Lilypond's

I can't see how one could type directly with the syntax of ENP. It's unpratical for humans I think.
