In fact that is what is meant, and it's an authoring error in the
implementation notes that they appear to be cumulative. I'll correct the
implementation notes in the next revision. Thanks for spotting it!

So you would favour the separation of some of the keys from the main "all
keys open" clarinet fingering chart, so that it's possible to construct a
simplified chart if need be? If so, which specific keys would you separate
out, and would you separate each removed key into its own separate glyph,
or would it be sufficient to chop off just those keys and put them in a
single separate glyph (cf. the low B/C foot glyphs for flute)?
