Comment #2 on issue 3057 by address@hidden: missbehavior of \deadNotesOn in  
the begining of LilyPond code
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3057

"Use an explicit Voice" is not a workaround.  What happens here is that  
both \deadNotesOn as well as \deadNotesOff work in the current context via  
make-grob-property-override as well as make-grob-property-revert.

So the first \deadNotesOn happens in score context (where the staff  
settings override it) and the second \deadNotesOn happens in staff context  
(where the corresponding revert does not reach it).  Now the problem with  
note style settings is that the default context where one would want them  
is not predetermined: one might want them at staff level, one might want  
them at voice/bottom level.

I am not sure I see a really nice way of playing this, though being able to  
put things like \deadNotesOn into a context mod (for staffs, for example)  
makes it a bit more tolerable to think about doing them as purely Bottom  
overrides (thus never at Staff level).
