Entering or leaving any of the MUFFIN configurations is still going to need the
main menu--not providing easy access to it when hidden will just frustrate
users. No problem with hiding it (although exposing it is the first thing I do
with the tabbed Notebookbar) but it should not then be a hassle to unhide it to
move to another GUI configuration.

So keep it simple and consistent, F10 toggles a hidden main menu open and lands
on it at its normal File menu. Then an F6 to advance into the Notebook bar (or
other MUFFIN layout) or use an appropriate short-cut/accelerator as defined.
