I don't understand what use that information has, as any variant is 
unique, and, therefore, used in the score in every situation where 
that variant is needed.

I resisted click assignment, and multiple assignment of one syllable 
at the beginning, too, but it's so incredibly easy to deal with that 
I can't even remember why I ever thought it wasn't the best way to 
get the job done.

Why have any text twice?
