Kieren, just who is the target for which you are planning to keep your
tools for extracting version change information for your musicians
confined to some set of persons without access to version control and
presumably also not to versions other than some marked printed copies?

The last commit in the LilyPond codebase from you has been in 2010, and
using OpenLilyLib takes installing and updating it via Git, doesn't it?

So how are you planning to give those tools not requiring version
control to people, and how are they going to get access to versioned
compositions to apply them to?

I just have problems figuring out the rationale behind that constraint.
