Sounds like a good idea, I would do it in Perl if I was doing it, since I have decent Perl knowledge and no Python knowledge and Perl is the perfect language for text file manipulation, but right now I neither have the time nor the need for a script like this (currently I don't even have the time to use Rosegarden much. :-( ). I think it would take more than an evening though, even to a seasoned script writer.
