Indeed, it seems that the approach used by Jay is the correct one
(i.e. using an engraver).

Would you like to help with making a patch and shepherding it through
the review process? As you can see, i don't have enough time for
lilypond work, so cannot do it myself.  Of course, i know that this is
an involved process, so i'm willing to offer you assistance (short
Skype call every other day).  It seems to me that Jay's code is of
good quality, so it shouldn't require a lot of work.

best,
Janek
