This was one of my first ideas but I got and still get
a parse error:

Now processing: `/home/ostetzer/Musik/once_i_loved.ly'
Parsing...
/home/ostetzer/Musik/once_i_loved.ly:153:9: error: parse error:
        \context
                 PianoStaff \notes <    
ly2dvi: LilyPond failed: lilypond  /home/ostetzer/Musik/once_i_loved.ly
2>&1

2Dvi exited abnormally with code 10 at Sat Mar 17 15:29:27

??? The only way I got rid of this message was to put ChordNamesVoice
below the \context PianoStaff !!!!

So what did I wrong?
