Re: \score, \midi, etc.

[Mats Bengtsson]

I would recommend to move your \time command into (at least) one of the
Staff contexts. Then you can do
\score{
 \context ChoirStaff <<
   \context Staff = bari <<
     \time 4/4
     \clef bass
     ...
   >>
  ...
 >>
}

Note that the syntax for the \score{...} block is

\score{
 <music expression>
 <optional layout block>
 <optional midi block>
 <optional header block>
}
and that you only can have a single music expression at the top level 
inside the
\score{...} block.
