I haven't thought this through very much, but my first impression is that
there are things that are important that are outside the measure, like the
time and key signature and ties that cross a bar line, so it would be
difficult to have an independant measure mean everything it needs to.

If the parser returned a structure that contained the entire song, you could
step through the various parts yourself, and pick out the measure you wanted
to process, while still being able to look at other elements as needed.
