Yes, it does, especially if there are clear boundaries between the
responsibilities of the contributors. This seems to be the case for
Urs, and probably a lot of lilypond projects, and my introduction of
the build token idea was not a useful contribution. Sorry for that.

Agreed.

How about Urs, Susan, you and I collaborating on a one-page score via github as 
a way of confirming our understanding, and demonstrating how it can be done? 
Even a few staves would be enough to confirm a suitable workflow.

Keep it very simple. Something that any of us could write in thirty minutes, 
say, on our own, but share the work via git.

Cheers,
Colin.
