Re: Measure-free scores

Hi Mogens,

I didn't understand your first question about "words". 

About the other topics: I feel it's a bit early to get into these details.

Worried about what Glen wrote that Segno is not always in the start of a measure (Glen: do you have a MusicXML-example?). The symbol Coda is often opposite or there may be e.g. two Coda's instead. And things get complicated because Segno, Fine and Coda Dacapo are written in one part,  but affects all part.  And more than that: With an exact definition there will be notewriters that still want e.g. to put a Coda-symbol on ToCoda. Can this be defined by an attribute?
