That is the current problem.  I doubt that there is enough potential to
be tapped that setting up the respective independent channels and
administration would not consume more resources than they would deliver.
Of course, I am always ready to be pleasantly surprised.

Same here.  In this particular case however, I need to end up getting
paid for it eventually because I am currently focusing fulltime on it.
And it is requiring enough focus and concentration that if I were to do
something else for supporting myself, I would have to cut out even
looking at LilyPond completely to have the resources for that.  I am too
much of a single-minded person.
