Re: [feature-request] optional duration for temporary

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hi Kieren, et.al.,

David came up with a nice solution :)
To get such a function with the edition-engraver, we will have to 
integrate some other piece. The proposed solution works horizontal in 
time, while the edition-engraver is triggered "vertically" in time. So 
there has to be an event, which triggers the revert/undo.
This might be entered with an offset in time - a duration/moment.

Hm, one task on my TODO-list ...

Again I can only say, I am able hope to work on it soon!

For now,
cheers,
Jan-Peter
