Yes, I noticed that -- it looks neat!
But since I need the scordatura for a string quartet where three of the 
four instruments have their strings 'untuned', I suspect it may look a 
little strange to have this list with three instruments above the 
'grand'score, although it (having the scordatura-tuning at the top of the 
file) may look very good on the individual parts (IMHO: I think it may look 
even better than the original scordatura which starts at the far left from 
the first staff of the score). When the option comes available to me (I use 
windows, so I have to wait until a new stable version sees the light), I 
will give the function definitly a try!

Currently, I think I'll stick to the original scordatura rules defined in 
input/test/incipit.ly 
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/input/test/out-www/lily-1425473805.ly). I 
don't understand how I could overlook this file, having searched the docs 
with my bare eyes thrice and googled the website on the word scordatura twice.
Oh well, after I posted the question, I found the answer (which always 
gives me some satisfaction), but thanks for your help!
