Hi,

I'd say that's probably because clefs are engraved by the
"Clef_engraver", which is (by default) part of the Staff context.

But my general advice would be to never trust "implicit" context
creation and instead *always* use explicit contexts (\new Staff,
\new Voice) and parallel construct as the desired output.

Cheers,
Xavier
