Hi Cynthia

I saw your message first now, as I have run into the same problems, and 
was searching for feedback from the community. At the time of your 
writing, I had other issues. I must say the comments from Chris and H. 
S. Teoh were not too clever. They have obviously not discovered the 
point, if this tool works as intended, not having to divide the music 
into a lot of separate parts, which else has to be done as a workaround.

However I found a bug report from already 2012, issue 2250, 
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2250. There one 
proposes a workaround, (\set Score.quotedEventTypes = #'(StreamEvent 
note-event rest-event) ). That helped me a wee, but not the whole way 
out, unfortunately.
