The difference is two lines of comments.  The one that is showing up in the
docs is an older version than the one that is currently in rhythms.itely.

Please note that the snippet is not an included file, but is actually part
of the text in rhythms.itely.  It's as if the snippet database is somehow
not being updated.

I'm not sure how to best show you the exact differences.  Let me do my best.

Here is what shows up in the docs:

\time 7/8
% rhythm 3-1-1-2
% Context not specified - does not work correctly
\overrideBeamSettings #'Voice #'(7 . 8) #'end #'((* . (3 1 1 2)))
<< {a8 a a a16 a a a a8 a} \\ {f4. f8 f f f} >>

% Works correctly with context specified
\overrideBeamSettings #'Staff #'(7 . 8) #'end #'((* . (3 1 1 2)))
<< {a8 a a a16 a a a a8 a} \\ {f4. f8 f f f} >>


Here is what is in rhythms.itely


@lilypond[quote,verbatim,relative=2]
\time 7/8
% rhythm 3-1-1-2
% Context not specified - does not work correctly
% Because of autogenerated voices, all beating will
% be at beatLength (1 . 8)
\overrideBeamSettings #'Voice #'(7 . 8) #'end #'((* . (3 1 1 2)))
<< {a8 a a a16 a a a a8 a} \\ {f4. f8 f f f} >>

% Works correctly with context specified
\overrideBeamSettings #'Staff #'(7 . 8) #'end #'((* . (3 1 1 2)))
<< {a8 a a a16 a a a a8 a} \\ {f4. f8 f f f} >>
@end lilypond


When I copy either snippet to a .ly file and surround it with
\relative c''{}, it compiles correctly.

But in the docs, it does not.  I suspect it's actually not compiling at all,
but just being included from the database somehow.  And the LilyPond output
is from a buggy previous version that I was working on.  But I don't know
how to track that down.

Thanks for thinking about it.
