I might attack this myself some day, if it can really be accomplished at the Scheme interface. I doubt that I will ever penetrate the C++ substrate. At present, I don't understand the data structures quite well enough, and I think a few more iterations of the documentation are probably required

You are proposing very good solutions for the short term production of scores. I am more concerned with the very long term management of the information. The object is to 1. have a file containing data entry from the MS which represents the uncorrected manuscript, and which (almost) never needs t

Thanks for pointing out \tag. I've already read up, and experimented with it. It doesn't solve the problem, because it requires that I anticipate every possible correction when entering the data from the MS. The only way to get useful coverage is to tag every note with a different tag, which is too

I am experimenting with methods to enter notes from a manuscript and produce several typeset scores, including at least one that looks very much like the manuscript, for proof reading another that is good for performance. There will probably be other versions too. Problem: the manuscript
