Thanks.
Now I have thought a bit more about it (which I should have done
earlier), there is certainly a better approach, which would make it more
simple to use and more flexible. I think I'm going to get rid of this
complex user interface: instaead, the script will take an input file
which consists of Python data definitions.

Thanks to Neil Tiffin, here's a patch for the script: it fixes an error
in the staff definition example.
