Comment #2 on issue 4078 by tdanielsmusic: Improve syntax for specifying  
instrument definitions
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4078

I would be very happy to replace the use of \instrumentSwitch
in the example which uses it in Character names in NR 2.1.6
with variables, like this:

kaspar = {
  \transposition c'
  \clef "G_8"
  \set Staff.shortVocalName = "Kas."
  \set midiInstrument = "voice oohs"
  <>^\markup \smallCaps "Kaspar"
}

melchior = {
  \transposition c'
  \clef "bass"
  \set Staff.shortVocalName = "Mel."
  \set midiInstrument = "choir aahs"
  <>^\markup \smallCaps "Melchior"
}

\relative c' {
  \kaspar
  c4 c c c
  \melchior
  a4 a a a
  \kaspar
  c4 c c c
}

It's far simpler, produces identical results, and
frees up \instrumentSwitch to be tailored for
instrumental use.  Thanks for the suggestion,
Keith.

I'll change this issue to Type-Documentation and
produce a patch to do that.

Trevor
