Thanks, Mark.  I'm inclined to agree, but in this case it would have a
detrimental effect on the docs, since I'd have to change the simple
ottava example (which James has just improved) to prevent the extra
stave appearing.

I might be exaggerating when I say the alternative is hackish.  It's a
cheeky trick, though could come in quite useful since it saves having
to create C++ code (it's almost like having a scheme interface for
iterators).

Cheers,
Neil
