Would it be possible to add this to the documentation (which I checked
thoroughly ) for Rookie users such as myself who think they know how things
work and sometimes get it wrong? I guess under the sections relating to Score
and MIDI.
Thanks,
Vivian.

Subject: Re: \score vs. \new Score with \midi
As you have noticed, they are not equivalent from a syntactical point of
view.
From different email discussions, I have got the impression that the main
hackers had some ideas on how to revise the syntax related to \book and
\score
blocks, but I don't know if there are any concrete plans.
Actually, you write
\score{
\new Score{
...
}
\midi{...}
}
if you really need to explicitly specify the Score context (I don't see
why that
would be needed, though).
