[what is the difference between \set Timing.measureLength = ...
and \set Score.measureLength = ... ]

The Timing alias is given to contexts that manage the timing (measure length, subdivision, etc.). Usually, this is the Score context. However, if you move the Timing_translator to another context like Staff in order to get polymeter (in the upcoming version there will be a predefined \enablePolymeter command doing that behind the scenes), a \set for Timing becomes equivalent to \set Staff ... Thus, while using Timing is probably not very important for users who never typeset polymetric music, it is done in the documentation in order to account for all cases.

Ah ok. I thought there must be a reason :)

Thanks for explaining that.

Kind regards,
Michael
