When you say "I Can See" here -
can you see this in the documentation? I could see the example for Staff
context and that it applied context wide, and looking up contexts found
that Score context was higher, and found the solution you give for
setting on a per-score-block basis (as I said in the first email). But
the documentation then says there is no higher context (Book is not a
context I guess) and so I was guessing, and struck lucky. Or I have
missed some bit of the documentation.
