Well, I could.  The only thing is that number of optional variables is limited.  I suppose there could be an argument which takes an alist of symbols and settings: '((starting-clef . bass) (short-names . #t) (stop-at-rests . #t) ...).  If a pair isn't present, a default is taken.  My goal was simplicity, though :(  

I should say my "goal" was that automatic ottavas would be a simple, uncomplicated thing to achieve.  And of course wishing makes it so.

The alist idea seems like a great alternative to a long list of arguments you have to look up every time you use the command.
