Hi Charles,

Good! That’s important.

It’s also likely critical (as David brought up) to either completely disallow 
the entry of notes and semantics which differ, or at least have a 
well-considered and -documented mechanism for how to handle the inevitable 
situation where notes and semantics differ.

In terms of representation, I agree… But let’s remember that David has an 
*immense* grasp of Lilypond’s current (and, to some extent, future/possible) 
workings — arguably more than anyone, including the founding developers — so I 
would suggest getting his OK on whatever structure/mechanism you end up with.

No, as long as the “note-semantic difference” issue has been addressed.

Thanks!
Kieren.
