As long as this is included as an _option_ I would welcome it. I am not sure
I would use it, as I know that a lot of publications I regard very highly do
not actually use such an option. They have thinner staff lines for smaller
staves.

(It's probably a good idea to make this request again after Fin2k4 Mac has
been released. I don't think I am giving away anything if I say that
inclusion in the first release of 2k4 is pretty impossible. It's certainly
more likely to be considered for 2k5.)
