Yeah, we're discussing two things that have been deprecated
together but are separate. One is \addInstrumentDefinition
+ \instrumentSwitch, which sounds like it helps with switching
instruments but is actually both completely generic and
close to useless, the other is instrumentCueName +
Instrument_switch_engraver + InstrumentSwitch.
