this looks like a CMU problem to me. I can compile/load in mcl, for example.

Are you setting up a staff first? I think if you do
	(set-cmn-staff! 0 :clef :treble ...)
CMN will only use the treble clef for staff 0. But maybe CMN changes to a new clef if it thinks it should. look in the cmn docs, there is probably a control on this.

BTW ill be adding a 'staffing' slot to .cmn files so that you can either define global staff descriptions like in intro.cm or specify them on a per score basis.

no, this is out of date, i think this referred to an interface someone at IRCAM did on the mac.  May try writing a hook function to do this and then do (set-cmn-output-hook! whatever)
