Nice thought, but it doesn't really work for me, because it requires that the 
#'untransposable property be inserted _inside_ the music.  That means having to 
insert that statement inside many different staff contexts, whereas I would like 
a way to globally disable transposition across the entire score with a single 
instruction.

What you suggest could work for a single instrument part, but not for a 
multi-instrument score where it would be nice to be able to switch between 
transposed and concert pitch versions.
