(and thus in a @code{\book} block, either explicitly or
implicitly) will affect every @code{\score} in that @code{\book}.
-Every @code{\context} block will affect the named context (e.g.,
-@code{\StaffGroup}) throughout the block (@code{\score} or
-@code{\book}) in which it appears.

shall see later that text can actually be specified in a much more
general way by using the very powerful @code{markup} command.

@code{\unset fontSize} command.
+@unnumberedsubsubsec Setting context properties with @code{\context}
+
+The values of context properties may be set in @emph{all} contexts
+of a particular type, such as all @code{Staff} contexts, with a single
+command. The context type is identified by using its
+type name, like @code{Staff}, prefixed by a back-slash: @code{\Staff}.
+The statement which sets the property value is the same as that in a
+@code{\with} block, introduced above. It is placed in a
+@code{\context} block within a @code{\layout} block. Each
+@code{\context} block will affect all contexts of the type specified
+throughout the @code{\score} or @code{\book} block in which the
+@code{\layout} block appears. Here is a example to show the format:
+
+@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
+\score {
+ \new Staff {
+ \relative c'' {
+ cis4 e d ces
+ }
+ }
+ \layout {
+ \context {
+ \Staff
+ extraNatural = ##t
+ }
+ }
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+@noindent
+Context properties set in this way may be overridden for particular
+instances of contexts by statements in a @code{\with} block, and by
+@code{\set} commands embedded in music statements.
+
+More information about changing context properties can be found in
+the Notation Reference -- see
+@ruser{Changing context default settings}.

-The values of context properties may also be set
-for all contexts of a particular type by including the
-@code{\set} command in a @code{\context} block in the
-same way.
