please use the "Reply to All" or "Group Reply" buttons when replying to
a mailing list posting, as others will benefit from the reply.

My approach is to set Ctrl-n as a shortcut for the command "Load Default
Template" and to save the Piano Staff empty score as my default
template(*). The default template is the one you have saved with the
name "Default". The advantage of this is you can include various things
that you always want (e.g. composer, instrument range ...).

It is also possible to write a script called denemo.scm which can do
anything you would wish it to do on issuing the New command - this could
include loading the default template.

But where should the cursor go once it has moved to the other staff?
Staying in the same bar? - going to the appending position?
