Or at least a system where everything in the ANE exports to Lilypond perfectly 
for pretty printing.  Getting RG to print as well as Lilypond is probably 
reaching over the top.

I usually start with an imported MIDI file (hopefully a mechanically-rendered 
one) or else I draw everything by hand.  I have no prayer of ever turning 
anything I actually play into usable notation.

Or at least that has traditionally been the case.  I've been spending 90 
minutes a day, five days a week working with a metronome, and I might 
actually learn to read and play rhythm correctly for once in my life.  
Maybe.  :)

It sounds like it would be.  I don't have time at the moment to think through 
them.  Practice time started half an hour ago, and I'm late!

Me too, but what about something with a DC or a DS and a coda?  That's 
trickier.  Or what about nested repeats?

Anyway, let's think!  Thinking is cheap.
