I understood your reply as a possible explanation for the unwanted
behaviour of the snippet, sorry for the misunderstanding.
Actually you did write: "I think that it happens because it assumes
that you want to use a TabStaff context."
And as I indeed didn't want the Tab, the snippet assumed
wrongly...

Yes, thanks, it came in after me receiving your 1st email and replying
to that.

Your file works perfectly, thanks!
However, I learned guitar the classical way (arrogance not intended)
and never use the tabulature notation. 
So indeed: I really wanted just a staff without tabulature.

While trying to work out the solo I'll take the 'phenomenon' for
granted as the tabulature will only confuse my reading. Maybe when finished 
I'll try to tweak it, but given my very limited
understanding of the lilypond language I'm not confident that I'd be
successful in that.

Thanks a lot for your help,
Joe

BTW: If you'd reply directly TO the list and incidently (B)CC the
person you'd like to address directly, then it's easier for me (and I
take it for others too) to reply without having to retype the list's
address.
