I agree totally; unfortunately there is nothing we can do
in the formatting to avoid this, AFAICS.

I had applied a patch in the immediately preceding commit to fix
the column widths too :)  But in the opposite way - I kept
the @code{} and added @code{} to the @multitable line.  I like
the appearance of this - you can see it in the pdf today.  I'll 
see what your patch looks like tomorrow, but I think I prefer 
the note names typeset with @code{}.  The accidentals will have 
to be left in a proportional font, though, else that table will 
run off the right margin.  See which you prefer.
