The obvious benefit of this is that entering the pointing is clearly a
lot less effort than with the approach I'm using though I'm missing the
tuplet brackets. The other details w/r to indentation etc. probably
could be tackled.

I have yet to convince myself that I want to use LaTeX though.

Thanks for sharing, kind regards,
