Editing Polyrhythmic staves

Polyrhythmic pieces (with different rhythms in different staves) are not processed propperly with default settings. The BarLines crash as well as Timing. The solution is to assign the respective engravers to the Staff context.

<lilypond version="2.24.0">
% For polyrhythmic pieces we have to remove some engravers
% from score context and assign them to staff context.
% This snippet makes no use of Repeat_acknowledge_engraver and Volta_engraver
% But to make it easier to adapt the snippet to different needs,
% these engravers are mentioned here, too. You will need them as soon as you use \repeat.
