It is much more straightforward to add \alias "Staff" to the definition of the TimeSig context. Then any overrides for Staff issued within TimeSig will not get handed upstairs. This should probably be added to the LSR snippet: while it does not in itself require it currently, it is likely to cause irritation like here. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
