Re: "inline" (scoped) definitions?

Hello, David:

In your example, you are illustrating an editing task.  It would be
quicker to copy the notes, even if there were a lot more of them.

My example was a straight repetition, certainly, but in concept I was imagining uses far beyond that... Imagine, for just one example, if the set were to be manipulated (e.g., transposed, inverted, etc.): that is no longer an "editing task", and copy-paste would no longer seem (as) efficient to me.

Putting definitions all in one place makes the file easier to maintain
through syntax changes.  Hunting down multiple definitions through
a score could be hardly any fun at all.

Actually, using my example syntax (==), I imagine finding inline definitions would be fairly simple in any reasonable text editor.

Regards,
Kieren.
