   to the paper block so that "Staff" is aliassed as AuxillaryStaff and
   "AuxillaryStaff" is aliassed as Staff. This is far too hairy, and we should
   do something to fix it.
   However, I think it works.

Yeah, this works!  I still get the "not in family" warnings, but it
looks great just the same.  I agree that the input looks hairy now, but the 
important thing is that lilypond can do it.  It is probably just a matter
of inventing the right mudela constructs that make it easier to program, 
but still process it basically the same way (minus the warnings). 
Hopefully that is all it will take, but Han-Wen may have something 
different to say...
