Re: [complib-talk] Storing compositions on the database

[Graham J. <gr...@ch...>]

I am making some progress on this, but I have a question for you.

In a composition that uses non-observation calling positions (i.e. one that
counts the leads or divisions from the previous coursehead to define the
column headings), how can complib work out where the next coursehead is e.g.
how many leads/divisions are there to the next coursehead after the last
call in the course? The course length may vary (e.g. Stedman turning
courses, or compositions of Bristol Major that cycle the tenors), and the
resulting coursehead may have no observation bell. 

In a printed composition, it seems that you have to work out was is intended
from the given coursehead. Is it necessary to enter every coursehead for
this type of composition to define it? This doesn't seem ideal. Is there a
better way?
