Comment #1 on issue 1773 by address@hidden: Add Footnote_engraver to Score  
context
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1773

I've just made some experiments, and some testing with _automatic_  
footnotes for normal constructs indicates that adding to lower contexts  
does not make sense: you'll get a footnote number for _each_ announcement  
of a grob.  So the regtest that "works" at the Staff level does it at the  
cost of breaking any and all footnotes at the Voice level (of which it  
prudently contains none).

The "obviously correct" solution is to move Footnote_engraver to Score  
level.  That way, each grob will be announced only once to the footnote  
engraver.

Since this is actually interfering with the \footnote documentation I am  
writing, I am preparing a patch that I'll probably shoo in somewhat  
expeditely.
