The goal of course is to be able to comfortably do either:

     abstract/encapsulate  vs.  integrate (the kitchen sink approach)
     (or any mix in between)

I think it should be totally possible to separate/combine 
instrument/score in any number of ways, and to customize it to your 
liking.  So far it's possible with the class system, but parts are 
cumbersome (lack of #include or auto-class discovery, classpath, 
namespaces).  But we are working on it - it's essential to provide a 
flexible framework to built abstractions and libraries for reuse.

Best,
Ge!
