Avoid using numbers in the context names, changing to
altoI, altoII and altoIII should solve your problem (an
alternative is to enclose the names in citation marks "alto1").

It's the same in 1.3.74, I don't know any solution at the moment.

Try the properties dynamicDirection, slurVerticalDirection and
the other properties with "Direction" in their names.

Check that your egcs is version 1.1 or later. Also, you'll need
Guile 1.3.4 or later. All the version prerequisites are documented
in INSTALL.txt. If you still fail, please send a more detailed
problem report.

Again, what Guile version do you have? What failed?

Unfortunately that's still not implemented.
