Debra recently gave us a .csv file with information for a bunch of chants that need created on cantusdatabase.org.

We need a system to create chants based on CSV files. Debra said that this used to happen on OldCantus, and will continue to need to happen from time to time in NewCantus.

We could create a fully automated system with a specification - "your file should include all these columns and exactly these columns", and so on. It might, however, make sense to have a more flexible system - perhaps a management command that can be adapted by a developer to accommodate whichever individual spreadsheets are sent to us by the musicologists. If we adopt this second approach, however, we will need to attend to these .csv files promptly.

Thoughts on how best to approach this?
