Given that NoteNames are really a type of lyrics, is it possible to have a function that just takes music and returns a text string that is a lyric. For example: music = \relative c' { c4 d e f g a b c } notenameLyric = \NoteNameToLyric \music would make notenameLyric = c d e f g a b c so

\parallelMusic incompatible with slur marker at beginning of measure?
