comment Set music in LaTeX with ABC or LilyPond?
I just saw this question and its answer using arara: tex.stackexchange.com/q/111055/6510. I think it's basically what I was suggesting. Does it help you with reducing the LilyPond workflow?

I wonder if you could use arara to help with LaTeX integration? Since @PauloCereda is the author of arara and the LilyPond blog post, maybe he would know if this is possible (or even a valid idea).

comment Visual comparison between LaTeX and Word output (hyphenation, typesetting, ligatures etc)
@gekkostate It would be interesting to remove the red marks and labels to have someone pick the best-looking of the three settings -- a sort of blind test. Of course, this might backfire if the MS Word or InDesign typesettings are chosen...

comment For stacked bar chart, how to render zero height bars as invisible?
Thanks! This may or may not be related to any such feature, but it would also be nice if the plotting could take into account \pgflinewidth so that the borders of the lower and upper neighbors butt up against each other, rather than one border overlapping the other. To explain what I mean: In the example, it would be nice if the gray bar had a lower border, rather than that border being covered by the tan bar's upper border.

@Qrrbrbirlbel That's a reasonable workaround, but I am still interested in a general solution.

comment For stacked bar chart, how to render zero height bars as invisible?
@ChristianFeuersänger As Qrrbrbirlbel said, yes, adding \pgfmathfloatparsenumber{#1} does indeed correct the error, but the plot does not appear correctly. For example, instead of column 2 being a red bar from 0 to 5, as intended, column 2 now appears as a red bar from 3 to 5 (with nothing above or below).

@Qrrbrbirlbel That's a good idea; I had not known about y filter. I tried y filter/.code={\pgfmathfloatifflags{#1}{0}{\def\pgfmathresult{}}{}} (is this the code you meant?) to see what goes wrong for the stacked plot. Indeed, I get an error: "Package PGF Math Error: Sorry, an internal routine of the floating point unit got an ill-formatted floating point number 1. The unreadable part was near 1.." Is that what happens for you?
