All these are not really mandatory for a 5.0

In all this I don't see anything really vital (although all these would
be very helpful of course). But there are two features that would be a
huge leap forward for nabc:
- first is the ability to set the vertical placement of the nabc
elements, in a first time this could be only bottom+top
- seconds is the horizontal spacing when mixing nabc and gabc. Generally
speaking there should be this structure:
\threevoices{\GreGlyph{}... gabc stuff}{nabc stuff}{nabc stuff}
and the \threevoices macro would measure the different widths and make
sure that enough space is allocated for the notes, so that for instance
a very short gabc part doesn't make a long nabc part collapse with the
nabc part of the following syllable
the first shouldn't be too difficult, the second a bit more, and there
are many difficult cases (with bar spacings for instance), but we could
handle only the easy cases in a first version
these two features would make nabc really usable... what do you think?
Thank you,
