Sending around contexts

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello,

A while ago I sent an example of how you can use custom contexts to send music 
to different Voices in different Staves. I have done some experimenting and 
found a way to send anything pretty much anywhere.

So here I’m using this to send stuff from a Staff into a Dynamics context. So 
instead of having to fill the Dynamics content with skips and the stuff I want 
there, I can add that stuff from within the actual music.

So here I created to shortcuts:
\toDyn music1 music2
outputs music1 and parallely sends music2 to a certain Dynamics context 
between the staves.
\pedOn music and \pedOff music
outputs the music and sends corresponding pedal marks to a Dynamics context 
below the staff.

I have shortended the example to remove all the cosmetic stuff, considering it 
is about showing the method. But I’ve included the current state. For the time 
being not turning out too bad!

Regards,
Valentin

Postscript: Actually I think one could use this to get around a specific 
problem in guitar music. Consider your’re doing a score with Tablature and 
standard staff. If you have a need for doing different voices, you get the 
problem that Staff only accepts Voice context and TabStaff only accepts 
TabVoice context. So if you cannot use { } \\ { } notation, you have to mess 
around a alot.
This could be done by creating the voices you need at the beginning and then 
just sending the notes to the specific Voices. (Nota bene: You cannot tag 
creation of contexts, but you can tag change of contexts).
