It's not just about producing strings.  It's also about parsing the  
previous
content (to find out, say, the current duration, or octave), and  
remembering
previous typings (accidentals for instance).  It's also about  
modifying the
previous content (change an alteration, a duration, an octave), or  
even a
whole region of text (transposition for instance). All these things  
belong to
the editor, as does the assoiated key map. But this is quite far from  
the
original topic.
