Feature request for slash notes.

Currently the slash notes is supported in MusicXML. It would be great to have it supported. Some scores from Japan are using slash notes for repeated notes. Audiveris can't scan this without this feature.

@SetoKaiba
I am not familiar with slash notation.
Having searched the MusicXML reference today for "slash" items, I suppose you are referring to the "beat-repeat" element.
BTW, I think there is a bug in the MusicXML example (the first chord in measure is missing and the beat-repeat occurs in the middle of the second chord!)

Anyway, I think I now understand the feature.
Could you point me to diverse concrete examples I could use? This would help Audiveris development and test.

@hbitteur I try to export the MusicXML with slash notes from MuseScore and Dorico. Both treat the slash notes as slash. I mean this kind of slash notes. By default, it's all the slash notes at B4. But if it's exported to MusicXML. It will be the slash notes at the exact pitch.

On the score songbook from Japan, it's all printed as notes at B4. So I thought that it could be recognized as slash note on B4 with its duration. At least I can process it in the notation software later.

The screenshot below is the image before export.

The screenshot below is the image after export.

This is photo of the slash notes on the score songbook.

You can reproduce slash notes using MuseScore->Tools->Toggle rhythmic slash notation. And then you can export it to pdf to test it.
