Fantastic interview.  Methinks we're even luckier than we already
know we are to have Werner as "head man".  I particularly like the
bits about Lilypond, which I use extensively myself.  In fact, the
back cover of my novel _The Schumann Proof_ shows a page of music
(from a fictional song cycle by R. Schumann) that was engraved with
Lilypond.

Werner mentions something I've been meaning to ask for a while:
will groff *ever* incorporate shrinkable vertical, and, much more
important, horizontal space?  All other concerns aside, the only
quibble I've ever had with groff as a typesetting engine is that,
as Werner reminds us, groff's paragraph formatting algorithm isn't
all that sophisticated.
