You are right, actually dealing with import/export files is not the same
that just loading a file as a "meta-data" to the score. Maybe a new
directory is needed here. I am not sure how to call it. Do you think
that "file" and "meta" are good names ?

scorelayout seem to edit the score directly, thus I think it should be
kept in "commands", or maybe split

Well, maybe a new directory is needed here too. I think "render" might
be a good name for printview sources. How to call the Denemo display ?
"display" may not be a good name, as it is not only about displaying but
mainly about editing.

You wish to separate import and export projects .denemo files (load and
save actually) from import and export project in other formats
(musicxml, lilypond, midi etc.) ? I though we could regroup those
sources that can "load and save music from/to a file, whatever format it
uses".

This is a good question. Most of users are not computer experts, and
just do not care about which format is used. They just want to "load or
save some music". Gimp for instance try to privilege their own project
format, but Libreoffice let you save documents in whatever format you
want (without making any difference between load/save and
import/export).

How do you see things ?
