Just so I understand correctly: I shouldn't use an engraver at all but 
write a music function? And if I understood everything correctly to this 
point, this is more difficult since at the time a music function is 
interpreted, the actual position in time of the music in question is not 
yet known.

So, it might be a bit involved here since what I'm doing is inherently 
non-local (in contrast to, as far as I can see, \articulate): I think I 
would have to keep track of time signature changes, do some book-keeping 
on note lengths to know when a measure is complete, and so on. This 
seems certainly possible, and ... well ... let's say, it certainly is 
another opportunity to increase my understanding of Scheme and Lilypond. :-)
