I'll take a look at it. The change I made for this was only a few lines of code,
but I remember that it did impact several functions, and that's about all I
remember about it since it was so long ago. I think I was being a good boy
and flagging all my changes with comments back then, though, so it might
not be hard to figure out.

The only problem I see with that is that it would have quite an impact on the
defacto "standard" (i.e., that group of ideas to which several programs adhere)
and not everyone that implements %%staves will necessarily be thrilled about
implementing it. Rather than risk abc that might break some existing parsers,
it might be better to use a syntax like %%stavesex ...
