I've just submitted an additional patch which I think addresses the
uses raised by Mats, Kieren and Abraham. See attached ly and pdf files.

Comments, particularly on usability, appreciated.

This is looking very nice and appears to do precisely what I (and Kieren) proposed. Thank you for making this happen. It's true power, I'm sure, will come to light as more use-cases (especially in "real world" scores) are attempted. Well done!

Best,

Abraham
