using the dang thing

Hi,
I am creating a xml version of lilypond, essentially xml music notation.

I need to make tags line up with nxml/emacs and also have
colorizations specific to the files I create.

Here is an example of my problem


a score of lets say two parts could line up left to right as follow


oboe    <measure>notes</measure>  <measure>notes</measure>   
violin  <measure>notes</measure>  <measure>notes</measure>   

this music moves ----------------------> left to right


or like a table

oboe                                    violin 

<measure>notes</measure>                <measure>notes</measure> 
<measure>notes</measure>                <measure>notes</measure> 
<measure>notes</measure>                <measure>notes</measure> 


here the measures move from up to down

as measures get more complex it becomes harder and harder to keep the
measures aligned and it becomes very hard to read.

I would like a way to create auto tabs for measure tags in each column
and if possible have each column (up/down) or row (left/right) be a
different color. This would make a large score much easier to read.

I have a feeling this is more related to emacs, but I also would like
a way of defining this sort of behavior when I load a file with an
lyxml extenstion.

How can I do this?

Thanks
Aaron
