That would simplify things a bit.  It makes number in identifiers even 
harder to do because of var = c:maj7m5  (but I don't mind that).

We would need to distinguish the uses of all the chord delimiters 
  : (tremolo)  ^ (raised fingering)  - (postevent) etc.

But weren't we supposed to "bring it in the form of a parser patch" ?
We have only so much time. Don't waste it with fluffing around.
