Several good ideas here, but

>Perhaps Keys, Clefs and Time Signatures could be merged into a single menu as they are somewhat sparse.

... but only because there is so much still to do. Do you like C or 4/4?... and I would guess many more things to go in there... Where should beaming rules for the given timesignature go?

I think 'Score View' is a bit redundant here as well, 'Score' should suffice. 'Hide/Show Menus' should be just 'Menus', since, as earlier, everything in this View drop-down is a Hide/Show toggle.

'Lyrics View'->'Lyrics'

'Print View': I say leave this alone as 'Print' by itself could be misleading.

Perhaps Keys, Clefs and Time Signatures could be merged into a single menu as they are somewhat sparse. Perhaps 'Clefs, Signatures' or 'Signatures, etc.'?

A minor thing that's bugged me slightly over a long enough period of time to warrant mentioning. The View menu has options named Console, Print View, etc. with the understanding that selecting these would toggle Showing them. Thus "Show Console", "Show Print View" would be redundant. However, this is exactly what is done for "Show Lilypond" and "Show Scheme Script". It would make scanning for these items a hair quicker if they were just consolidated to "Lilypond" and "Scheme Script".

Also, perhaps "Music Snippets" could be shortened to just "Snippets".

Also, my current commandset has Delete Staff After and Before. I find it hard to imagine how these would be useful enough as separate commands. Delete Current Staff should suffice, and these others could perhaps be stricken from all commandsets if this hasn't already been done.
