The only awkwardness would be that the Scheme engraver would have to be consist-ed, as it's not currently possible to add it to the definition of Lyrics in the codebase. (Some problem due to automatic generation of documentation, I believe.) The engraver could be rewritten in C++, but I'd like to hold off on that! As this touches on the "Lyrics Project," I'm cc'ing Janek. @Janek: how would this figure into your long-range plans? Will it--and here I'm thinking mostly of a LyricWord grob--be a help or a hindrance? Best, David
