engraving stage.

I have a series of functions I use for algorithmic composition that  
calculate timing info for a music stream.  The only thing that would screw  
this up is if the timing translator is moved out of the score context.

In fact, the timing translator can likely be rewritten as well and replaced  
by a function that takes a music stream and adds timing-related events.

In general, anything that falls into the category "data accompanying a  
stream" seems that it should be added to the stream before entering  
engravers.
