We certainly don't intend to impose editorial policies but to provide the tols to tailor project specific behaviour. By default annotations dob't have any impact on the layout (which is crucial) but just colorize objects while in draft mode. Additionally we'll provide generic commands that can be used to visually indicate certain types of editorial action. For example something like \editorialAddition can be used to indicate something that is missing in the source and has been added by the editor. By default this might make slurs dashed and parenthesize other types of elements. Of course the visual appearance will be configurable so only the semantic command is inserted in the music. Now annotations *can* trigger the application of such editorial commands (which can also be used independently from annitations). My question is: are the *type* of decision and the triggering oc commands inherently independent so we should implement both a property forvthe annotation type *and* the applied command or could they be "merged"? > In some cases it might be good to >have a simple switch (modernise lyrics or not); >in other cases everything must be decided on a case-by-case basis, with > >no automation being possible; >and the type of annotations one will have, as well as how to display >them in both the score and the critical apparatus, will be very >different depending on the project.

As is the possibility to insert scores in annotations (to be printed in a footnote for example, or in the LaTeX critical report).
