MB: "Weird - did you really define it within the paper block?"
No - I defined it at the beginning of the user file, outside the
\score block, where I thought all definitions had to go!
It works when put the way you describe. Another clarification for the
refman, I guess.
So, this works:
xx={\property ...}
\score{... \xx ...
\paper{}
}
and this doesn't:
xx={\translator ...}
\score{
\paper{... \xx ...}
}
Exactly which definitions have to go inside a specific block? and
which can go anywhere at or above the block at which they are used?
A related refman weak spot - at some point (I suspect when Grace
properties were added), the fact that most of the properties listed
work only in Voice context was omitted. And, some Staff properties
work at staff-group levels such as PianoStaff - do all of them?
