Hi Maximilian, after having failed at the beginning with abjad (it’s looking better now) I programmed some functions in Python to also be able to access instruments and measures. For measures, I made a function that simply looks for | and gives you back whatever is between | as a list. The Excel approach didn’t occur to me. Wouldn’t you just put each measure in a separate cell, so that a cell in column 227 corresponds to measure 227? Deleting the corresponding column would delete the measure, wouldn’t it?. Or do you have a different structure for the Excel spreadsheet in mind?
