Thank you, that works, and is a lot "cleaner" than the workaround
I used (the s1*0).

Incidentally, I re-read the manual to learn more about contexts,
and found that in 9.1.3 in the bottom example, both staves start
with an upbeat. In the manual for 2.6 the top staff simply contains
two 3/4 measures and the bottom one three 2/4 measures, which
is what I would expect. Bug?
