Thanks, that gives me at least a place to start looking.
The alternative is to keep it like it is now and write a gui so that the 
user can select a bar or staff to edit from the pdf view.  I might at least 
be able to display the dvi output, shortening the parsing time.

Btw, are anyone here willing to give me some English language support?  I'm 
afraid my music terminology in English is rather poor, and since I'm writing 
this application I find I need a lot of music words in English that I just 
don't know.  Anyone willing to help out, let me know.

I am also looking for ways to add rests to tablature notation.  I have seen 
this discussed on this list earlier (or was it the dev list?) and people 
saying something to the effect of "rest symbols does not have a place in 
tablature notation".  Well, I think otherwise! :-)  For banjo, tablature is 
the primary form of notation, and tablature only, not tablature combined 
with normal notes on top of it.  So I need some form of rests.  Is it 
possible to add my own symbols to the notation and insert those wherever I 
want to for example?

Thanks again!

Terje
