Well, if you manage to describe how that should work. If you imagine 
yourself in the role of the autochanger, how would you react if somebody 
else did some extra staff changes every now and then. When should you 
start doing your ordinary job after such a change?

What might make sense, in such a situation, is the possibility to 
temporarily turn off the autochange functionality in the middle of a 
score and then turn it on again some measures later. I wouldn't be 
surprised if that's already very easy to do, since most of the 
functionality is implemented in Scheme.
