I believe Robby was there showing intuitive examples of how he wanted to eventually use his function, but later in the email had an example of his current attempt to go part way towards that goal. The partial attempt was only taking one argument, but I think the ultimate goal is supposed to take two? As a newbie he also might not know how to pass two arguments except by putting them together in an "incoherent" heterogeneous list. (Hint, you can do ``\setStrTuningCLEF #"Fiddle" #'(D A D D)''. Consider reading the documentation about Music Functions in the Extending manual.)
