Hi  Kieren,

unfortunately I don't understand everything completely:

OK. Had to remind myself that 'concert' is a paper format...

What exactly do you mean by 'manuscript' and 'editorials'?
Manuscript in the sense of 'bare musical text' or literally Beethoven's
manuscript? Or style tweaks relevant to that concrete score?
And editorials: editorial markings or styles for that score?

Maybe I'm completely wrong, but _if_ I see it right, I'd strongly oppose.
If you imagine a workflow where you separate information from the
manuscript from later (editorial) additions that will be appropriate in
many cases. But I'm strongly against mixing engraving and editing in
your project.
What you are proposing is a set of style sheets affecting the engraving,
and this should in no way impose any way to organize the editing process.
But maybe I'm seeing this completely wrong.
Could you please say something more specific about how you intend these
files? Maybe some sample entries?

Well, depends on your answers to my previous questions ;-)
