Well, it's usually not all that much harder than that, but I'd expect a
few spots to require changes in order to make up for more fundamental
differences.  Note that the Rhythmic_event_iterator will check for stuff
like { g'\repeatTie } whether there is an engraver listening before
deciding whether to leave the event to the discretion of the likes of
"New_fingering_engraver" and keep it on the g' or whether to strip it
off and announce it separately to engravers.

So there may be other side effects _outside_ of chords by adding such an
engraver.
