All with different effect.  In \with, it will affect the current
context, no questions asked.  In \layout (or \midi), it will affect
_all_ context definitions of the respective output definition having an
alias to Staff .  Directly in music, it will walk the hierarchy upwards
until finding a context aliased to Staff and will affect only that.
