Due to the lack of manpower we don't get close to release any LilyPond
supporting guile-2.x.
Thus the known problems persist.
All low hanging fruits are done, though and speaking only for me: I
can't go deeper, it's beyond my depth.
Remember, I'm not even a programmer, but a musician, maybe an
ambitious musician ;)

Additionally I recently found something preventing our `make
test-baseline´ to work.
Probablly identified here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2019-10/msg00236.html
(unsolved)

Following the link you'll find a .zip containing several patches.
Applying them you'll get a successful
`make´ and `make doc` for every guile up to guile-2.9.4, but  as said
`make test-baseline´ fails.

No clue, I doubt, though.

No.
