Thanks so much. It seems that it was my problem (well my first problem
anyway - see below).
I got thrown off because the default value for the staffer slot is
container-staff and not channel-staffer. 

Of course since this is csound the instrument number is actually n.xxx,
where xxx is the voice number. But this seems to be not a problem
because it would only put each voice on a seperate staff, which is
probably ok for a first look.

Well, now, after making my ins-staffer definition and putting it in the
staffer slot; if I try to render something (which renders ok to csound),
lisp just hangs up eating CPU and memory.

So there is still something I need to do. One thing that comes to mind,
is what do I do with events that should not be scored in CMN?
For example, my output stream has a number of csound f-statement events,
which I would like to be ignored as far as CMN goes.
