Well, then… that explains it, since the visuals were therefore not critical. >> Is there a way to extend this music-function idea to handle all of the >> requirements of an instrument switch? > > It's not a music function but an expression. What _are_ "all of the > requirements"? This does what \instrumentSwitch can do now. It doesn’t properly handle key signature changes, in particular those which are abstracted (but maybe even those which are inline?). See for example the thread at <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2015-01/msg00201.html>. That is one of the main requirements in “all of the requirements” — and perhaps the only one that isn’t handled well by any method I’ve seen to date. Your interesting work on the “smartkey” function (back in 2013: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-10/msg00180.html) gave me hope, but then wasn’t fully sufficient to solve the whole instrument-switching problem once and for all. But hitting the ‘reset’ button… Perhaps by now, with all the recent improvements in the codebase, there is a single way to make multi-instrumental parts easy to code and output (in both transposed and concert versions), without being forced to break the music into independent variables, manually add redundant key changes, etc.?
