I'll do more tests in the next few days, but you can already play with it.

I'm not making this feature in a future release, sorry, the corresponding code changes would be time-consuming and there are other things with higher priority to do, for now. That said, the editor offers and relies on different _automatic_ tools to keep the score minimal and compact. Have a look at this, which is _strongly_ suggested while editing your music (it automatically shortcuts all your definitions): https://github.com/paopre/Spontini/blob/master/documentation/tabular.md#3-coding-rules-and-jssvgvars-blocks I managed to write very, very complex scores with this feature and If you post a minimal example of something you need to manage, I can suggest you hints to do it properly on Spontini-Editor.
