I think that this deserves handling in the input syntax at some point of
time. I think that it is too easy to invoke parallel staves
accidentally currently. What you call "additional obstacle" is a rather
commonly encountered pitfall, so I don't think that it is worth
considering it as a specific problem of this notation.
