Exactly.

Thanks for the hint.  I see that TEI's <app> (and also <choice>)
indeed have @next and @prev.  I think I'll create a feature request
issue.

And yes, I'm thinking about the automatic generation of apparatus
entries.  It would be messy to have things chopped up in multiple
entries that actually are logically one entry (like one entry for
measure 1 and a second one for measure two of the flute, although they
form one melodic phrase together).  It would be equally messy to get
one huge entry that contains a lot of "noise" (like a two measure
<app> that presents the whole orchestra, although only the flute
varies).

Wish you a good start into the week ahead
Thomas
