The interesting part about is its importing funcionality for lilypond songs from another github repo (open book I think), where a guy transposed hundreds of popular standard (real book) tunes to lilypond with some Ruby framework code, which I replaced by ob-lilypond code. The idea was to manage songs, band, concert rehearsals etc in Org-mode, and to be able to easily transpose songs (its ob-lilypond) for Bb or Eb instruments or so. OTOH isn't managing a choir or band quite similar to managing a project, and thus (ob-)taskjuggler would be a very helpful tool here? -- cheers, Thorsten
