Hi Martyn,

This looks great, I look forward to testing it out, although my music
composition experience is limited to using Finale in a high-school music
theory class.

It sounds like your plan is to keep this on github during the first
trial and debugging stages.  At some point I would love to include this
into the Org-mode core.

Part of me is tempted to push for immediate integration so that this is
released with Emacs24 (we could push bug fixes throughout the fall),
however this may be too much code for just before an Org-mode release.

Thanks for sharing! -- Eric
