Description

Looking at MusicXML there is still a wide variety of music notation elements which alphaTab does not support. This epic spans all features related close the current gap between alphaTab and whats possible to notate.

It might be worth tackling this mainly after https://github.com/orgs/CoderLine/projects/17?pane=issue&itemId=106801844 instead of blowing up the current models. This way we could more dynamically extend the model and handle it accordingly. This is especially true for the customizations on the display&playback of individual effects&annotations.
