Yes, for another group.

The 'merge' is the problem there.
Its easy with XML.
Far less so with lilypond? A straight manual effort I guess.

<grin/> By which I guess you mean to continue the lilypond markup?

I struggle with anything other than simple \tex, though I have
mixed braille, Hebrew Russian and Arabic when given a reason.

I do like the idea, but I'm less keen on the character references.
I don't understand how they are marked up.
  Assuming \tex is somewhere in the background, is David Carlisles
Omega in use?

I simply used an imagegrabber and created .jpg images.
+1 to lilypond :-)

Let me think on that Mats.
