The limitations I was worried about were related to the lack of
variety of the glyphs involved in the preview. When it comes to
previewing a layout, variety in glyphs isn't really necessary. When it
comes to picking a font, it is. The whole point of the standard
"quick brown fox" sentence for previewing text fonts is that it
includes every letter in the English language. While such coverage is
probably impossible for a music font (which would contain a whole lot
more glyphs), one does need to see a range of the available glyphs in
order to make an informed choice. What you demonstrated had much
better variety and the ability to provide a custom template file would
enable a user interested in particular glyphs to make sure they show up.
Now that there seems to be a certain common understanding of my initial
idea, may I repeat my request for someone to provide a suitable default
sample document?
Coming up with a score that provides representative details with as
little content as possible does require some creativity, and it would be
a good idea if someone else deals with that so I can spend my time with
the coding itself.
Now that I think about it, there is one limitation which affects the
Score Wizard use case: length of the preview. The preview music in
the Score Wizard is limited to 2 measures or 10 notes (of the beat
length), whichever is shorter (not counting the pickup note, if
present). This makes for a nice short preview, but it never shows
what happens after a line break. Having the ability to have a longer
preview would be helpful when dealing with those settings which have
an effect on the second line, but not the first (say, instrument names).
