As a continuation to the community wish expressed last year to start a
musical score transcription project [1], I'm investigating what is needed
to make it happen.

The biggest hurdle seems to be how to separate content from layout. On the
one hand users should be able to define which part to work on (a staff, a
voice, an instrument, lyrics...), otoh they should be able to select which
elements to render for different representations. For instance a single
page has all parts but just for one page, a complete score has all the
parts for all pages, a piano part has only the piano staffs for all pages,
etc.

Lilypond can handle different layout representations, but of course the
content selection has to be prepared before launching the desired layout
rendering.

Any ideas about how to deal with this situation?

Cheers,
Micru
