Re: \score vs. \new Score with \midi

[Mats Bengtsson]

As you have noticed, they are not equivalent from a syntactical point of 
view.
From different email discussions, I have got the impression that the main
hackers had some ideas on how to revise the syntax related to \book and 
\score
blocks, but I don't know if there are any concrete plans.

Actually, you write
\score{
 \new Score{
   ...
 }
 \midi{...}
}
if you really need to explicitly specify the Score context (I don't see 
why that
would be needed, though).
