Except I still think you haven't grasped the point of this ... And I
think you were alone in thinking the formatter function was the right
place. Bear in mind that it would require editing EVERY formatter,
whereas here I am just making a (small) modification to the engraver.

Which I probably didn't understand :-) BUT from what I remember did you
think that feeding a chord of, say, C into the formatter should chuck
out A as its result? Which is NOT what this does - it has to chuck out
both C *and* A. Bear in mind - that for EVERY chord the formatter has to
be run TWICE, so modifying all the formatters to loop will be a pain,
then anybody writing a new formatter has to remember to make it loop,
etc etc.
I really can't understand why having to modify EVERY formatter is better
than having to modify ONE engraver.
