Would it be feasible to put the context mods _before_ some reasonably
related argument, possibly like

\newInstrument \with {} "ViolinI" "Violin" \with {} "StaffGroup"

or probably

\newInstrument "Violin" \with {} "ViolinI" \with {} "StaffGroup" ?

Because when they are before a related non-optional argument, one can
make them optional.  Then if they are just \with {} anyway, you can omit
them.
