Hmmm ... There seems to be a bit of an ambiguity here, in the form of a conflict with the "middle=<note>" syntax that a few people have implemented for clefs. You could write: [V:2 clef=bass middle=D, nm="bassoon", L:1/4, M:3/8] In this case, the first comma is part of the "middle" term, saying that the note "D," it mapped to the middle line of the staff, and is not a list separator. Perhaps it would be better to use a semicolon for lists like this. This is pretty much the reason that most programming languages use semicolons as command separators. It makes sense, since in written language, semicolons have historically been used as a higher-level comma. Alternatively, a safer way to parse such lists would be to use the <letter><colon> sequence to flag the start of a new field.
