That doesn't work, because \cueDuring is supposed to also work with actual 
notes in the quoting voice. E.g. 

\cueDuring "Piccolo" #UP { c1 d1 }

should simply add the notes of the piccolo flute (maybe transposed down an 
octave, if necessary) in addition to the instrument's notes. This is needed 
when cue notes are not meant as a guide when to set in, but rather that 
another instrument is supposed to play a possibly missing instrument (e.g. the 
Violin plays the flute part if the orchestra does not have any flute).

A further argument against this syntax is that basic functionality should be 
available without \tweak (and cue notes from an instrument with a different 
clef is really basic functionality for orchestral scores).

Cheers,
Reinhold
