[Joakim Sandgren]

This I could do. I already make my own "deep-copy" functions.
With the Sizeof function proposed by A. Repenning it could give me an  
idea of a size.
I think I could try to handle myself the case where I have the real  
instance or a pointer.
I think its quite "tactile" my object. I have staff, section, partial  
section, measure, partial measure ,note group, note.
all these are (what I understand) "real" instances. but then for  
example in the notes I have next note and preceding note, wich is then  
referenced.
so when I do the walker I dont look at them...
And in the end in all the slots there are integers or floats..., or  
Strings. How do I get the size of a string ? length * x.

Very sincerely

Joakim
