Re: change staff to staff in different context

[Mats Bengtsson]

The name of the Staff you want to change to is either "rh"
or "lh", since that's the names you have specified for the
staves. It seems that you have confused these with the
names of the variables/macros/identifiers that contain the
actual music.
