I can't reproduce the error with a short code snippet. Han-Wen wrote
that he can't deal with larger files so I guess we have to leave that
unresolved until I found a way to reduce the problem adequately.

I did read that and incorporated those ideas into the source where
they applied AFAICT. In the special case I was mentioning the layout
order of Text markup did change for some reason between versions which
screwed up my score layout considerably.

I redid the organisation of the score by introducing new staff
contexts (with invisible staffsymbols,clefs and timesignatures) for
printing graphics and off-staff time signatures (which are declared as
Text Markup) above the actual music in a defined order. This seems to
be a more "lilypond" way to do things.

I'm planning to do some tutorial on how to get these things done after
finishing the score as I think it is a non trivial matter to typeset a
score with proportional notation, graphics for the electronic part and
such and it might save some time for someone else trying to do it with
lilypond.
