I am considering to offer commercial support and may be able to do
that on a part-time basis.  However, working on two bounties has
illustrated that bounty work can be quite tricky.  It would be very
nice for someone doing this for a hobby and getting to know LilyPond,
but commercial support requires some level of predictability.

Also, if the amount of work is not consistent but takes the form
of a few thousand euros once a year, you would be very lucky if I
(or whoever else would take this on) would happen to be available
within a reasonable time frame to work on those.


Greetings,
Jan.
