I don't think that would be a good idea. IMHO any characters that
might still be available should be reserved to signal new, more
productive contexts. The "no notes" context can be easily be
indicated by a pseudocomment as long as a standard one be agreed
upon. E.g.
%% End of tune
or
%% No notes
or
%% End of X:<tune identifier>
Of course, this would be just a redundant way of telling parsers that
the transcriber _hasn't_ made the mistake of signaling the end of
tune prematurely.
