Yes… But if we’re [finally!] opening that can of worms in a big way, then
PLEASE let’s solve instrument handling once and for all. (See the many, many
threads in the archive, dating back at least a decade, which discuss in-line
transposition, forcing key signature visibility, and other issues and
frustrations related to instrument switching.)
Thanks,
Kieren.
