played with your thumb (used in cello music):

+Support for ancient notation is still under heavy development.
+Regardless of all of the current limitations (see the bugs section

notation and Gregorian Chant notation. There is also limited support
for figured bass notation.

+If this all is way too much of documentation for you, and you just
+want to dive into typesetting without worrying too much about the
+details on how to customize a context, then you may have a look at the
+predefined contexts (see @ref{Vaticana style contexts}). Use them to
+set up predefined style-specific voice and staff contexts, and
+directly go ahead with the note entry.

+
+Ligatures need special spacing that has not yet been implemented. As
+a result, there is too much space between ligatures most of the time,
+and line breaking often is unsatisfactory. Also, lyrics do not
+correctly align with ligatures.
+
+Accidentals must not be printed within a ligature, but instead need to
+be collected and printed in front of it.
+
+Augmentum dots within ligatures are currently not handled correctly.

+The predefined @code{VaticanaVoiceContext} and
+@code{VaticanaStaffContext} can be used to easily engrave a piece of
+Gregorian Chant in the style of the Editio Vaticana. These contexts
+initialize all relevant context properties and grob properties to
+proper values. With these contexts, you can immediately go ahead
+entering the chant, as the following short excerpt demonstrates:
