Well seven actually:
Normal music
Clef changes within normal music
Grace notes within normal music
Cued music
Clef changes within cued parts
Grace notes within cued parts
Chord symbols

I regard them as as much of a variation as lower case c is of upper case C.

No I can see that. The private use area would have to do. Still seems odd
though.
