[fomus-devel] :harpsichord

[rob canning]

hi,

in the mean time how do i create an :instrument ? is there a file full 
of all the definitions somewhere i can't add to?

i need to create an instrument that jumps between bass and treble clef 
on one stave - most instruments i have tried so far go into tenor or 
alto clef  on the way

also with :force-staff it would be nice to be able to change this "on 
the fly" like :timesig
so that for example four bars of harpsichord or piano could be 
cross-stave single voice and then four bars could  be two part staff-forced.

thanks

rob
