And if the author of lily sais so, I try to follow this suggestion. In lily
2.4 I used
this method, but it forces moving Timing engraver to Staff context (sometimes
it was hard
to end "senza misura" section in all voices at once; with grace notes it seemed
to be
impossible). This wouldn't be so bad unless sometimes some of staffSymbol
sticked out on
the right side of barline. And worse - barlines on one staff shifted notes in
all other
staves... (this was a really big problem with FIFTEEN staves). So this time I
wanted to
avoid these problems.
BTW, I'm curious how to enclose in box some fragment of music, let's say - one
measure in
the middle of the system. maybe this would be easier?
