Many projects release X.0 version w/ entirely new parts of the code base. It
is a huge leap, but in my mind thinking big like this is a good idea. I think
that it is important to max out the present version and figure out where its
faults lie and then decide if rewriting LilyPond makes sense. I think it could
be done in 3 months divided over 4-5 people (meaning anything in C++/Scheme - I
wouldn't touch the MetaFont).
That said, people have been writing rather critical things of Scheme. I'll
just say that I <3 Scheme!
