+This section explains the relevance of output definitions when
+working with contexts. Examples for actual output definitions are
+given later (see @ref{Changing all contexts of the same type}).
+
+@cindex output definitions
+@funindex \layout
+While music written in a file may refer to context types and
+names, contexts are created only when the music is actually being
+interpreted. LilyPond interprets music under control of an
+@q{output definition} and may do so for several different output
+definitions, resulting in different output. The output definition
+relevant for printing music is specified using @code{\layout}.
+
+@funindex \midi
+A much simpler output definition used for producing Midi output is
+specified using @code{\midi}. Several other output definitions
+are used by LilyPond internally, like when using the part combiner
+(@ref{Automatic part combining}) or creating music quotes
+(@ref{Quoting other voices}).
+
+Output definitions define the relation between contexts as well as
+their respective default settings. While most changes will
+usually be made inside of a @code{\layout} block, Midi-related
+settings will only have an effect when made within a @code{\midi}
+block.
+
+@funindex autoBeaming
+Some settings affect several outputs: for example, if
+@code{autoBeaming} is turned off in some context, beams count as
+melismata for the purpose of matching music to lyrics as described
+in @ref{Automatic syllable durations}. This matching is done both
+for printed output as well as for Midi. If changes made to
+@code{autoBeaming} within a context definition of a @code{\layout}
+block are not repeated in the corresponding @code{\midi} block,
+lyrics and music will get out of sync in Midi.

-@node Creating contexts
-@subsection Creating contexts
-
-@c TODO more complete descriptions rather than learning style
-
-For scores with only one voice and one staff, contexts are
-created automatically. For more complex scores, it is necessary to
-create them by hand. There are three commands that do this.
-
-@itemize
-
-@item
-The easiest command is @code{\new}, and it also the quickest to type.
-It is prepended to a music expression, for example
+@node Creating and referencing contexts

@funindex \new

@cindex new contexts
-@cindex Context, creating
+@cindex referencing contexts
+@cindex Contexts, creating and referencing
+
+LilyPond will create lower-level contexts automatically if a music
+expression is encountered before a suitable context exists, but this
+is usually successful only for simple scores or music fragments like
+the ones in the documentation. For more complex scores it is
+advisable to specify all contexts explicitly with either the
+@code{\new} or @code{\context} command. The syntax of
+these two commands is very similar:
@example
-\new @var{type} @var{music expression}
+[\new | \context] @var{Context} [ = @var{name}] [@var{music-expression}]
@end example
@noindent
-where @var{type} is a context name (like @code{Staff} or
-@code{Voice}). This command creates a new context, and starts
-interpreting the @var{music expression} with that.
+where either @code{\new} or @code{\context} may be specified.
+@var{Context} is the type of context which is to be created,
+@var{name} is an optional name to be given to the particular context
+being created and @var{music-expression} is a single music expression
+that is to be interpreted by the engravers and performers in this
+context.
-A practical application of @code{\new} is a score with many
-staves. Each part that should be on its own staff, is preceded with
-@code{\new Staff}.
+The @code{\new} prefix without a name is commonly used to create
+scores with many staves:
-@lilypond[quote,verbatim,relative=2,ragged-right]
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim,relative=2]
<<
- \new Staff { c4 c }
- \new Staff { d4 d }
+ \new Staff {
+ % leave the Voice context to be created implicitly
+ c4 c
+ }
+ \new Staff {
+ d4 d
+ }
>>
@end lilypond
-The @code{\new} command may also give a name to the context,
+@noindent
+and to place several voices into one staff:
-@example
-\new @var{type} = @var{id} @var{music}
-@end example
-However, this user specified name is only used if there is no other
-context already earlier with the same name.
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim,relative=2]
+<<
+ \new Staff <<
+ \new Voice {
+ \voiceOne
+ c8 c c4 c c
+ }
+ \new Voice {
+ \voiceTwo
+ g4 g g g
+ }
+ >>
+>>
+@end lilypond
+@noindent
+@code{\new} should always be used to specify unnamed contexts.
-@funindex \context
+The difference between @code{\new} and @code{\context} is in the
+action taken:
+@itemize
@item
-Like @code{\new}, the @code{\context} command also directs a music
-expression to a context object, but gives the context an explicit name. The
-syntax is
+@code{\new} with or without a name will always create a fresh,
+distinct, context, even if one with the same name already exists:
-@example
-\context @var{type} = @var{id} @var{music}
-@end example
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim,relative=2]
+<<
+ \new Staff <<
+ \new Voice = "A" {
+ \voiceOne
+ c8 c c4 c c
+ }
+ \new Voice = "A" {
+ \voiceTwo
+ g4 g g g
+ }
+ >>
+>>
+@end lilypond
-This form will search for an existing context of type @var{type}
-called @var{id}. If that context does not exist yet, a new
-context with the specified name is created. This is useful if
-the context is referred to later on. For example, when
-setting lyrics the melody is in a named context
+@item
+@code{\context} with a name specified will create a distinct context
+only if a context of the same type with the same name in the same
+context hierarchy does not already exist. Otherwise it will be taken
+as a reference to that previously created context, and its music
+expression will be passed to that context for interpretation.
-@example
-\context Voice = "@b{tenor}" @var{music}
-@end example
+One application of named contexts is in separating the score layout
+from the musical content. Either of these two forms is valid:
-@noindent
-so the texts can be properly aligned to its notes,
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim]
+\score {
+ <<
+ % score layout
+ \new Staff <<
+ \new Voice = "one" {
+ \voiceOne
+ }
+ \new Voice = "two" {
+ \voiceTwo
+ }
+ >>
-@example
-\new Lyrics \lyricsto "@b{tenor}" @var{lyrics}
-@end example
+ % musical content
+ \context Voice = "one" {
+ \relative c'' {
+ c4 c c c
+ }
+ }
+ \context Voice = "two" {
+ \relative c'' {
+ g8 g g4 g g
+ }
+ }
+ >>
+}
+@end lilypond
-@noindent
+@lilypond[quote,verbatim]
+\score {
+ <<
+ % score layout
+ \new Staff <<
+ \context Voice = "one" {
+ \voiceOne
+ }
+ \context Voice = "two" {
+ \voiceTwo
+ }
+ >>
-Another possible use of named contexts is funneling two different
-music expressions into one context. In the following example,
-articulations and notes are entered separately,
+ % musical content
+ \context Voice = "one" {
+ \relative c'' {
+ c4 c c c
+ }
+ }
+ \context Voice = "two" {
+ \relative c'' {
+ g8 g g4 g g
+ }
+ }
+ >>
+}
+@end lilypond
-@example
-music = @{ c4 c4 @}
-arts = @{ s4-. s4-> @}
-@end example
+@noindent
+Alternatively, variables may be employed to similar effect. See
+@rlearning{Organizing pieces with variables}.
-They are combined by sending both to the same @code{Voice} context,
+@item
+@code{\context} with no name will match the first of any previously
+created contexts of the same type in the same context heirarchy,
+even one that has been given a name, and its music expression will be
+passed to that context for interpretation. This form is rarely
+useful. However, @code{\context} with no name and no music expression
+is used to set the context in which a Scheme procedure specified with
+@code{\applyContext} is executed:
@example
-<<
- \new Staff \context Voice = "A" \music
- \context Voice = "A" \arts
->>
+\new Staff \relative c' @{
+ c1
+ \context Timing
+ \applyContext #(lambda (ctx)
+ (newline)
+ (display (ly:context-current-moment ctx)))
+ c1
+@}
@end example
-@lilypond[quote,ragged-right]
-music = { c4 c4 }
-arts = { s4-. s4-> }
-\relative c'' <<
- \new Staff \context Voice = "A" \music
- \context Voice = "A" \arts
->>
-@end lilypond
-With this mechanism, it is possible to define an Urtext (original
-edition), with the option to put several distinct articulations on the
-same notes.
+@end itemize
-@cindex creating contexts
+A context must be named if it is to be referenced later, for example
+when lyrics are associated with music:
-@item
-The third command for creating contexts is
@example
-\context @var{type} @var{music}
+\new Voice = "tenor" @var{music}
+@dots{}
+\new Lyrics \lyricsto "tenor" @var{lyrics}
@end example
-
@noindent
-This is similar to @code{\context} with @code{= @var{id}}, but matches
-any context of type @var{type}, regardless of its given name.
-
-This variant is used with music expressions that can be interpreted at
-several levels. For example, the @code{\applyOutput} command (see
-@rextend{Running a function on all layout objects}). Without an explicit
-@code{\context}, it is usually applied to @code{Voice}
+For details of associating lyrics with music see
+@ref{Automatic syllable durations}.
-@example
-\applyOutput #'@var{context} #@var{function} % apply to Voice
-@end example
+The properties of all contexts of a particular type can be modified
+in a @code{\layout} block (with a different syntax), see
+@ref{Changing all contexts of the same type}. This construct also
+provides a means of keeping layout instructions separate from the
+musical content. If a single context is to be modified, a @code{\with}
+block must be used, see @ref{Changing just one specific context}.
-To have it interpreted at the @code{Score} or @code{Staff} level use
-these forms
