Reading this page I see you refer to "the model" but it is not so clear what this is: a musicXML file could provide a fixed point of reference, though its rag-bag specification does not help. And worse, the musicXML format is capable of holding descriptions of where to break lines etc; we really want to compare the ability to generate this sort of thing. Could we arrive at a definition of what a minimal specification of a piece of music notation that described some conventional Western music but not how it is to be typeset? I'm not sure. Even having added "conventional Western" to that sentence.
