Cool.
It does make some sense that staff-affinity tells you which staff is the 
relatedstaff,
because Affinity and Relationship can be synonyms.

I think so, but with so many rods and springs in there, I might have missed one.

If your mind is still on this tomorrow, I'll post a minimal example in relation 
to issue 1309 (one of the troika of lyrics issues).  My proposed changes to the
