Thanks also for implementing function kill-ambitus, but ... For a new lilypond user without knowledge of lilypond internals, I think it will be conceptually hard to understand why to transform the input by some magic function in order to compensate something that is declared in the paper section. Is there a reason for prefering some magic kill-ambitus function over my approach of defining a VoiceWithAmbitus and StaffWithAmbitus context (which I think is conceptually easier to understand)? Furthermore, in a big score with many staves, you probably want (if at all) to apply ambitus only to very few staves. So, saying "put ambitus here and there" (as in my approach similar to a positive list) is much more appropriate than saying "do not put ambitus here and there and over there and ... but only everywhere else" (as in your approach of a negative list). BTW, the plural of "ambitus" is "ambitus" (i.e. same spelling as singular, but pronounced with a stressed "u"). If you want to englishify the plural, "ambituses" may be a acceptable (although I am pretty sure, Latin speakers will protest). In any case, "ambiti" is definitely wrong, since "ambitus" does not follow the o declination.
