You're right, it does. Both the embedded and stand-alone version of ly
appear to have the functionality required, provided by (in the
stripping case):

def remove_dups(iterable):
    """Change reoccurring strings to '' in iterable."""
    old = None
    for i in iterable:
        yield '' if i == old else i
        old = i

However, unless there's a secret switch somewhere, there's no way of
causing that code to be run in the stand-alone version, even though it
is two years more up-to-date (2015 vs 2013) than the Frescobaldi I
have compared it with.

Cheers,
David.
