\new Staff works.  \New staff doesn't.  There's no reason for that - we 
don't have two separate \new \New commands that do different things, nor two 
contexts Staff and staff that are different.  Worse is that \slurUp works 
but only with that precise casing.  TBH this specific one doesn't cause me 
worry, since I remember it, but there are much more arcane casings that I 
have to refer to the manual to find - so I can remember the command, but not 
the casing!  From a user perspective, it would be much simpler if everything 
they write was ToLower()-ed before further processing.
