Hi Paul,

Urs and I have had a brief private correspondence discussing that very point.
=)
Summary: I don’t think the existence of the \editionEngraver means his
“original breaks” functionality shouldn’t exist on their own in the regular
distro. But I definitely agree that \editionEngraver makes easy work of that
sort of thing.

That’s exactly what I do. =)
If the \editionEngraver had anchors and direct context addressing, I believe I
would be able to finally eliminate all presentation-layer coding (e.g., \tags,
\tweaks, etc.) from my content code.
Best,
Kieren.
