I toyed with that, but was/am not a big fan of the quotes.

Hmmm… Maybe I’m misunderstanding. I thought this new feature would allow one to
write
horn.1 = { c d }
horn.2 = { e f }
…
horn.8 = { c’ d’ }
and then access them like
<<
\new Staff \horn.1
\new Staff \horn.2
>>
Did I misunderstand?
> so does \horn-I \horn-II ... \horn-VIII
That’s what I have ended up doing in my scores to date… but names like that
neither sort pleasingly, nor parse readily into my eyes and brain. I was/am
hoping for a cleaner solution, and thought this feature was one.
Cheers,
Kieren.
p.s. Having now done a number of large-forces scores, if the new feature really
doesn’t offer me any advantage(s), I'll probably switch to using the “quoted
numbered names" solution: it requires fewer keystrokes overall, and the names
are more human- [or at least Kieren-] readable.
