I think the main problem is that the project leaders are steeped in European Classical tradition. From my POV (British Brass Bands) pretty much every damn default is wrong - from the layout of the header to the rehearsal marks to ... well whatever.

Don't get me wrong - it's great software, and the authors want it used, but if us members of other traditions don't speak up and, more importantly, contribute, then it won't improve

You can also contribute with money of instead of code. If you want something changed, then you can hire the project leaders to implement features or templates on request. See lilypond-design.com for more details, or check out the v2.7 NEWS file for features that have been sponsored up to now.
