This did only work because you have only defined one typeface in your
typescripts and the first defintion will be used as bodyfont, you could
test it with a sans font.

\starttypescipt [mytypeface]
  \definetypeface [mytypeface] [ss] [sans] [...] [default]
\stoptypescript

If you use this typescript as bodyfont a sans style would be used
instead of roman.

Why this odd defintion I see now why why you have to enclose all synonyms
within a typescript environment.

You will also loose the functionality to create a new font collcetion
for your document with the serif garamond as serif typeface, palatino
for math etc.
