Because I tested it wrongly. Sorry for the noise.

I'm still unsure if the result of

violin.I = { a }
violin.I = { gis }

\void \displayScheme \violin

is "what it should be" (i.e. if one wouldn't rather expect the second 
assignment overwriting the first one), but I see that changing this has 
problematic implications.
