+@node Formatting cue notes
+@section Formatting cue notes
+
+
+The previous section deals with inserting notes from another
+voice. When making a part, there is also the part of formatting those
+notes. Here is an example of formatted cue notes
+
+@lilypond[verbatim]
+smaller = {
+ \set fontSize = #-1
+ \override Stem #'length = #5.5
+ \override Beam #'thickness = #0.384
+ \override Beam #'space-function =
+ #(lambda (beam mult) (* 0.8 (Beam::space_function beam mult)))
+}
+
+{
+ \set Staff.instrument = #"Horn in F"
+ \set Score.skipBars = ##t
+ R1*21
+ << {
+ \once \override Staff.MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #-6
+ R1
+ }
+ \new Voice {
+ s2
+ \clef tenor
+ \smaller
+ r8^"Bsn." c'8 f'8[ f'8]
+ \clef treble
+ }
+ >>
+ c'8^"Horn" cis'
+ eis'4 fis'4
+}
+@end lilypond
+
+
+There are a couple of points to take care of:
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item
+The multi rest of the original part should be moved up or down during
+the cue.
+@item
+Cue notes have smaller font sizes.
+@item
+When cued notes have a clef change relative to the original part, the
+clef should be restored after the cue section. This minimizes
+confusion for the reader,
+@item
+When the original part starts, this should be marked with the name of
+the instrument, in this case ``Horn.'' Of course, the cue part is
+marked with the instrument playing the cue.
