Singers with lute are not untypical for a Renaissance ensemble. At any
rate, LilyPond's job description does not really include fighting
imprudent typesetting choices with baffling behavior.
I agree with this. We should try in every case not to be baffling.
"Are you sure you want ..." is a usage rather than a programming
question.

But not by ejecting its stomach in the users' faces when it doesn't like
what they want.

But the user is not asking you to do the typesetting, but LilyPond.
I agree.
Should ChoirStaff accept all Staff contexts then? DrumStaff, RhythmicStaff,
TabStaff?
I guess if we are consistent and say any kind of staff can be included in a
ChoirStaff, so that a ChoirStaff is just a StaffGroup with a particular kind of
start bracket, then my concern is minimized.
Thanks,
Carl
