you have a point there.  The first part I checked this in (old B&H)
does have the letter I, but lacks the letter J. Can anyone provide
useful statistics? We're looking for the layout of classical
orchestral material.

Check out scm/ directory for the definition of format-mark-letters,
and setting markFormatter to something different will change the
layout.

Interesting; what is the difference between C and 4/4?

2.2 is only open for serious problems for which there are no
work-arounds. Try the 2.3.x branch, which is open for development.
