Actually, we're already two ;-) 
I'm transcribing some old pieces by Schubert, who wrote the vocal voices using 
soprano/alto/tenor clef, while modern typesetting practice uses only the 
treble clef for these voices. Now, I want to make two editions, one with the 
original clefs, the other with modern clefs (but the original clefs as 
incipits). So, you see, I'm having exactly the same problem.

I thought about using tags, but that's really messy and prone to breaking 
(since there is no "else" part in the tag, so you can either remove one part 
or not remove it, but not have something else instead).

Cheers,
Reinhold
