Hi Kieren,

I thought of a change - or addition - like your proposal. At least the
"counter" should be exchangable by the context-id.
That way partcombined voices can be addressed by "up", "down" and so on.
I can't say, if it is managable to omit the context-name (Voice or Staff
or else). But we will see.
So, yes, I consider it ;)

Best, Jan-Peter
