That is expected.  You never create any context but a Chords context,
and Chords have become aliased to Staff (in order to avoid spurious
creation of Staffs where not desired) and thus a sufficient target for
\numericTimeSignature.

If you want a Staff, write \new Staff .  It is as simple as that.  Like

\new Staff \relative c' { \numericTimeSignature ...

Bug in \chords in latest developer version?

2020-02-14 Thread SK
Hello,

I found very strange behaviour of \chords when used together with
\numericTimeSignature. Check the following code:

\new Score {
<<
\chords { c1 g c g }
\relative c' { \numericTimeSignature c4-1 c c2 d4 d d2 e4 e e c e2 d \bar
"|." }
>>
}

When running it on LilyBin, it compiles correctly with the latest stable
version, but with latest unstable, it shows no notes or staff, but only a
line of chords. I tried to move the \numericTimeSignature to different
places, but neither worked: Sometimes I got the chords below my staff,
sometimes I got an extra staff with just the timeSignature - I think the
place where I have it should work.
Are there any changes in the unstable version to this part, or is it simply
a bug?

Kind regards,
SK
