Thanks for that David. I've been doing this to separate out dynamic
markings, but I didn't know you could do the same with voltas and the like.

/me goes off to try it

|
| \score {
|     \context Staff <<
|         \global

|     >>
| }

| You can put all sorts of things in the 'global' block like rehearsal
