Oh -- I see. The snippet sets voltaOnThisStaff, which is no problem, but the
Volta_engraver doesn't do anything with it. That's why the snippet still works.

IMO, this is an unfortunate change in syntax. Most piano/guitar/vocal music
has the voltas above the musc staff but below the chord and fret diagram
"staffs". I guess we can learn how to do it (you've given the example here),
but it's certainly a _lot_ more complex than the old syntax.
