Score – the master of all contexts
This is the top level notation context. No other context can contain a Score context. By default the Score context handles the administration of time signatures and makes sure that items such as clefs, time signatures, and key signatures are aligned across staves.
A Score context is instantiated implicitly when a
\score {…} block is processed.
