I was bit afraid to open Pandora's box, since it opens questions about reorganizing the insets. What is the purpose of e.g. Note inset when we have mechanism how to switch off any Foot/GreyedNote/Comment... But right, having option to disable any flex inset like a given text style looks better than ERT-like magic around branch insets. Is there any reason to forbid specific insets to be "branchable" (and thus introducing "Branch 1" construct)? Pavel
