The problem is that during various stages of composition / arranging / engraving / coding: 1. there can be huge differences in code that represent only a few small differences in notated output; 2. there can be very small differences in code that represent many/large differences in notated output; and 3. there can be many, many small changes in code (cleanup, variable-izing, moving tweaks to/from the edition-engraver, file splitting, etc.) that literally have *no* effect on the notated output. Especially in the third case, combing through all those changes to manually summarize changes worth noting to others would be time-consuming and error-prone. If my process were more luxurious, I'd do a "'notable changes' only" pass, manually summarize the diff(s), and then do the other code work in a separate pass — the issue is that the timeline of a workshop doesn't grant me that luxury, so I was hoping there was an automagic way of figuring out exactly and only those things that needed to be communicated to the MD/performers in any given score update. Thanks, Kieren.
