I am sorry, I did not understand this part. Did you want to compare it or was that a request for me, that I shall compare it?

This is not a problem at all, let alone the "main" problem. If it was I had included it in my problem list.

Look at the version number, it is 0.1. Giving the process of single-dev open source audio software, when do you think it will reach 1.0?
Maybe by a time where Python3 and the other dependencies are common. Notice you also need Lilypond 2.15, which is a git version.

I plan to use Laborejo for decades in my professional career, thats why I even started it. I want it to be the top program not now but in years. Suddenly Python3 looks like good timing.
