I'm up to the challenge of building that logic!  =)

Oof… way too much admin brainpower required for that. I don't know the speed at 
which other people compose / arrange / engrave, or the deadlines they're faced 
with, but slowing down my creative process in order to write/enter details on 
which changes should be communicated to the conductor/performers and which 
don't have to be would likely be worse than the current situation (which is me 
just manually noting the main changes as I make them, doing a second cursory 
pass once the score is "final", and typing up the list to include with the 
score).

If I can't make the "compare two music streams" idea work, it really isn't 
worth it (for me) to set up a different system which requires any real manual 
input/focus.

Thanks,
Kieren.
