Writing documentation is a matter of looking at the infinite regress of 
constituent detail and required knowedge, and saying "I will stop 
/here/.  I will assume that the 'notional reader' know all the things up to 
here, and none of the things past here".  With MIDI::Score, the notional 
reader that I wrote the docs for, is comfortable getting and dealing with 
event structures.  That was an arbitrary decision on my part.
