Macro for typesetting melodies

[tweh]

Typeset a melody line above of syllables/words with

\melody[<highlights>]{<melody>}{<syllables>}

and a melody without syllables

\melodyline<*>[<highlights>]{<melody>}{<syllables>}

with a starred version to typeset a smaller version, i.e. use a smaller base unit.

The <melody> list constist of numbers, e.g. {0 0 1 0 2 2 0 0 0} would print something like

               _ _ 
      _      /     \
_ _ /   \ _ /       \ _ _ _

In the normal version the number should be absolute (i.e. always relative to 0) but
both macros should get a “plused” version (\melody+/\melodyline+) to make the melody numbers relative. The above example then would be {0 0 1 -1 2 0 -2 0 0}.
