7.7.12 Mensural contexts

The predefined MensuralVoiceContext and MensuralStaffContext can be used to engrave a piece in mensural style. These contexts initialize all relevant context properties and grob properties to proper values, so you can immediately go ahead entering the chant, as the following excerpt demonstrates
