We could require the user to use bar checks - not an optimal solution,
but i could live with that.

That would be cool!  As i've said, if it will get integrated with
Frescobaldi, i give you 50 bucks :)

Oh, and another idea: maybe articulations ad other stuff could be
stacked over and under the notes?  For example turn this:

{ a4^4_|_( b^1_| c_. d^2_. e_-_) f g^4 a^\markup e a g f }

into this:

  ^4 ^1    ^2       ^4 ^\markup
{ a4 b  c  d  e  f  g  a  e  a  g  f  }
  _| _| _. _. _-
  _(          _)

or maybe this:

  4  1     2        4  \markup
{ a4 b  c  d  e  f  g  a  e  a  g  f  }
  |  |  .  .  -
  (           )

...not sure about the things that have neutral direction, though.
Maybe they should just stay in line?
