I am now using this mechanism, but for some reason it's not consistently 
placing the temporary staff above the top staff: I have a named staff, with 
a named Dynamics context above that, with dynamics present, showing above 
the staff, and a temporary staff created with

\new Staff  \with {
 alignAboveContext = #"Dyn"
}

But on occasion, the temporary staff is still created _below_ the main 
staff.  As it's not consistent it's difficult to cut down fully, but is 
there a way of displaying where the various contexts are placed so I can try 
to see what's going on?
