Hi all,

How can a make a custom context with a "built-in" scaleDuration  
factor? e.g. I have

   \context
   {
     \Voice
     \name CustomVoice
     \alias Voice
     \override NoteHead #'duration-log = #8
   }

Now, rather than writing

   myMusic = \scaleDurations #'(1 . 8) \relative { ...

I'd like to just write

   myMusic = \relative { ...

and then use

   \new CustomVoice \myMusic

so that the context compresses the music for me. What do I add to the  
context definition?

Thanks,
Kieren.
