That doesn't work, because \cueDuring is supposed to also work with actual
notes in the quoting voice. E.g.
\cueDuring "Piccolo" #UP { c1 d1 }
should simply add the notes of the piccolo flute (maybe transposed down an
octave, if necessary) in addition to the instrument's notes. This is needed
when cue notes are not meant as a guide when to set in, but rather that
another instrument is supposed to play a possibly missing instrument (e.g. the
Violin plays the flute part if the orchestra does not have any flute).
A further argument against this syntax is that basic functionality should be
available without \tweak (and cue notes from an instrument with a different
clef is really basic functionality for orchestral scores).
Cheers,
Reinhold
