I first posted this to lilypond-user. I don't know if I need to repost with a clearer explanation and examples? Karim provided a work-around that seems to solve the problem but it does add mysterious stuff to the Lilypond file. I don't anticipate too many users needing to look at the Lilypond code that is generated for their music but for the sake of those few who do, I do try to keep things clean. (I probably need to add comments to the Lilypond generating file as it is.)
