Yes… I didn't really think about it until I was well into using it heavily.

OT: That inspired me to write this "compressed" score of "Mary Had A Little 
Lamb":

%%%  LOLs BEGIN
\version "2.19.80"

allEs = {
  e''4 s2.
  e''4 4 2
  s1
  e''4 s2.
  e''4 s2.
  e''4 4 4 4
  s2 e''4 s
  s1
}

allDs = {
  s4 d'' s d''
  s1
  d''4 4 2
  s1
  s4 d'' s d''
  s1
  d''4 4 s d''
  s1
}

allCs = {
  s2 c''4 s
  s1*3
  s2 c''4 s
  s1*2
  c''1
}

allGs = {
  s1*3
  s4 g''4 2
  s1*4
}

\score {
  \new Staff << \allCs \allDs \allEs \allGs >>
}
%%%  LOLs END

This example of course seems ludicrous, but working with it does in certain 
ways mirror the experience of working with an edition that heavily uses 
\editionModList.

Cheers,
Kieren.
