I think NextSelectedObject does cursor right provided the cursor remains
inside the selected region returning #t if the cursor moves else #f.
That is a sensible, very primitive action.

I suggest you create a new command script (command name could be
NextSelectedObjectAllStaffs) which does (in pseudo coding)

if (d-NextSelectedObject) return #t
else  do ; while (d-PrevSelectedObject) ;;; i.e. get cursor back to start on 
the current staff
if GoToStaffDown ;;; (or whatever the staff down is called)
 return (d-NextSelectedObject)
else return #f ;;; perhaps you would want to re-position the cursor at this 
point

This may need some working on, but better work it out in scheme than in
C
