Description
This issue is just for my own note-keeping.
When thinking about an interface to MEI I came across the idea of using GridLY to create a compatible input structure to map LilyPond's input to MEI's (mostly) measure-based encoding structure. Having a grid with each cell representing one measure of a part comes very close to MEI's concept.
For this to be at least viable we need a non-intrusive interface to enter music measure-based. There is the \parallelMusic
approach but I'm not sure that is a good idea in this context.
I thought about a command that takes a list of music expressions and stores them in subsequent cells of the grid. Then I thought about using barchecks for that cause. This could even be realized by modifying the existing \gridPutMusic
with an extra flag-style option. Then barchecks in the music
option would be parsed and used to split the music expression in consecutive items to be stored in the grid's cells.
