I like this. I'm just not sure that I like it for the same thing that 
Laurie does. I quite often want to put in little bass lines as 
transitions between chords. Assuming the '/' mechanism is for 
specifying the bass note of a chord it seems to me to make sense 
to be able to write:

"G/g" "/f#" "/e" "/d"

(or something similar depending on what exact rules we end up 
with for case & accidental).
