Re: Use arbitrary notes (with stem/flag) as MMR stencil override

Hi Urs,

No: MMRs [essentially always], measure numbers [often], final single-note 
columns [in many engravings], boxed markup/instructions inside the staff [in 
modern music], over-staff markups ["Safety", fermata, etc.].

I’m sure there are more — that list was just off the top of my head.

Yes, this is kind of what I’m hinting towards: I’m wondering if, in the C++ 
part, an interface could be added which centres a given grob in the middle of 
the current measure. (I assume the implementation would then have to be 
"retrofitted" onto MMRs to duplicate the current behaviour.)

I’ll be interested to hear what others think about the possibilities.

Cheers,
Kieren.
