I think it would be good to add our stuff to the chart (not necessarily 
much to the comments section).

But if we do that I think we should

* not only check the given items with yes/no but also freely add to the list
  (just two random entries: "Lyrics, unlimited number of stanzas", 
"Ornaments, custom").
  Especially on the "Engraving" tab there are *lots* of possibilities

* find a way to plug the "programmability" aspect (vs. applying plugins 
after-the-fact),
  with things like complete extensibility with syntactical means, 
conditional layout per engraving target ...
  (Maybe this would even warrant a new tab in the sheet)
