Re: For your consideration: an MNX thought exercise

Hi Alex,

As previously discussed, here's an encoding of the previously supplied
Ligeti example:

https://w3c.github.io/mnx/ideas/Ligeti-VII.xml

I omitted some of the less controversial bits like text, and also elided
some measures since I ran out of time, but I think this addresses the
structural questions in the piece.

To reiterate: this piece is really on the edge of what I would ask MNX to
do. The encoding makes a few modest proposals for stretching MNX to
accommodate it, but the fact that they work is the result of some fortunate
(or wise?) choices by the composer.

Beware the slippery slope! If you bring a slightly more exotic score to the
table, it might well fall on the other side of what's reasonable (and some
may feel even this Ligeti encoding isn't reasonable!).  At which point I'll
probably say the same thing I've been saying a lot lately: once we step
outside that box, we must use a second, far more abstract approach and
begin to step away from CWMN, if we want to build applications that work
together reliably.
