This is a very exciting project!

Have you considered using music streams introduced by Erik Sandberg --
see his master thesis on http://lilypond.org/web/about/pubs ?
If I understand correctly, the part combining should happen after music
has been interpreted, so using music streams might be very fruitful.

I unfortunately can't get involved in this project until I'm done with
switching the build system (I know, it's a poorly productive task in
short term, but we definitely need it for the sake of maintainability
and development comfort) and the translation infrastructure :-(

Best,
John
