Re: Aleatoric / modern notation

[SoundsFromSound]

David,

Thanks for the feedback! It's sad to hear that boxed notation is a bit
challenging in LilyPond (i.e. not possible without "breaking" parts of it) -
do you think there will ever be a native, more acceptable way to do boxed
notation in the future?  I'm not much a programmer so I apologize if that is
a silly question, but it'd be awesome if it could be implemented.  I'm not
sure if you mean it's not possible yet, or not possible from a programming
standpoint.

Thanks,
Ben
