The patch is being written by James Lowe.

???  I deliberately used the LM as the rationale for this -- two
items in fundamental.itely did
  \context {
    \layout {
      \Staff

but *every single* example in tweaks did it the other way.  I
figured that was deliberate.


I'm happy with having a newline there, but please glance over the
LM stuff you wrote, and confirm that you prefer it with a newline.
I'll get James to make the appropriate changes, both to the CG and
LM, but I'd like your explicit approval first.

Cheers,
