Very cool! When manipulating objects the magnifier (or some object like
it) should popup and display what you are doing.

I think that LilyPond should be run again. I want to implement
continuous autocompile anyway.

That can be done.

This is surely the goal for Frescobaldi: editing LilyPond source files,
but also via the Music View.

I am also thinking of dragging from one note to another and on release,
select the corresponding source and show a menu for adding slur,
articulations, or whatever.

Now I'd need time to implement these cool stuff! :)
