There are a few settings where locality makes sense: like putting
settings specifically differing from normal system settings into
TabStaff (including settings that are actually interpreted at TabVoice
level, though, for similar reasons).

Another such setting is InstrumentName which a number of contexts
explicitly erase in order not to inherit it from a possibly surrounding
named StaffGroup.  It's not as much a matter of right/wrong but of most
convenience and/or predictability.
