[James' reply:] Oh yes of course. This was just to make an @knownissue clearer 
and not get bogged down with it being a 'string' vs 'alist' vs 'value'. I was 
looking for the/a collective noun I guess :)

[James' reply:] Which I will also do as the @lilypond for cues are relatively 
complex compared to other examples if only because you have to set up the 
'other stuff' to shove the cue notes into.
