@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

Learning Manual:
@rlearning{Organizing pieces with variables}.
There is an exception to this general rule: just one of the
@code{Voice} contexts in a @code{Staff} context or in a
-@code{<<...>>} construct will always persist to the end of the
-enclosing @code{Staff} context or @code{<<...>>} construct, even
+@code{<<@dots{}>>} construct will always persist to the end of the
+enclosing @code{Staff} context or @code{<<@dots{}>>} construct, even
though there may be periods when it has nothing to do. The context
to persist in this way will be the first one encountered in the
-first enclosed @code{@{...@}} construct, ignoring any in enclosed
-@code{<<...>>} constructs.
+first enclosed @code{@{@dots{}@}} construct, ignoring any in enclosed
+@code{<<@dots{}>>} constructs.
Any context can be kept alive by ensuring it has something to do at
every musical moment. @code{Staff} contexts are kept alive by
@emph{etc.}

@code{fontSize} is a special property: it is equivalent to
-entering @code{\override ... #'font-size} for all pertinent
+entering @code{\override @dots{} #'font-size} for all pertinent
objects. Since this is a common change, the special
property (modified with @code{\set}) was created.
