Don't choose musicologists from Germany then. They, in general, don't have a 
clue about music theory. And if I understand it correctly this is about using 
the lilypond format to generate and extract more information about the music 
(from statistics to interpretation).

The reason is that musicology here has more to do with Biographics or 
Sociology. Music instrument training, notation knowledge or other fundamentals 
of music are not required to study or teach it (University Level) it in 
Germany. Search instead for Music Theorists, which is a seperate thing here. 
Often combined with historical composition, it is then called "Tonsatz". 
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonsatz . No English translation.

I have only read half of this thread, but is it about finding people or 
supporting the existent Lilypond Developers with money to do their regular 
great work?
