That was in reference to creating a six-line tab for seven strings (for
Renaissance lute) and my proposal to use a line-positions list and fudge
around with vertical offsets.

It had nothing whatsoever to do with a different input language and I
have absolutely no idea how you can even imagine that.

But for a completely different issue.  And certainly not insurmountable
ones: this requires probably few lines of C++ code fixes to do well.
It's just that the current code does not yet contain such fixes.

An entirely different topic is implementing a different input notation
language is certainly more work but likely can be done without even
touching the core of LilyPond.

So please, please, please: never state what you think me to believe.
Quote me (and use sufficient context) so that others have a chance to
get my words without having them filtered through your interpretations.
