Hi,
I would like to add some thoughts to that:
1.) What I use (and what is probably the most frequent case) are:
a) \repeat {} and \alternative { {} {} } % repeats
b) \bar "||" % new section
c) \bar "|." % end of staff
The first is syntactical the others are bar lines. Syntactical elements
for all three would be nice.
2.) I would find it intuitive to decouple musical syntax and bar line
definitions. -> Use a syntactical command for a) - c), but define new
barlines as WYSIWYG like Marc did.
3.) I repeat my suggestion to auto-define barlines with a default
behaviour for different break-cases just from the name (if not defined
otherwise).
4.) Adding more syntax elements like coda is a good idea, but it
probably needs some iterations to reach an intuitively usable, simple
and robust way of doing so. As it is more like a "goto" statement, it is
probably difficult to cover all situations with a music function of the
parts. Having commands (not LSR snippets) producing the symbols would be
a first step, even if that would not be followed by the midi output in a
first place.
Cheers,
Joram
