to adjust the horizontal placing of notes. We are not quite ready yet
to see how to correct this, so we shall leave this problem until a

accompaniment which is not derived automatically from the vocal parts.
The variables holding the music and words for the vocal parts are
fine, but we shall need to add variables for the piano reduction.

Stretchability of staves can be controlled with the
-@code{next-staff-spacing} property of the @code{VerticalAxisGroup}
-@q{graphical object} (commonly called @q{grob}s within the lilypond
-documentation) -- don't worry about the details right now; this is
-fully explained later. For the curious, have a look at
-@ruser{Overview of modifying properties}. Currently, it is not
-possible to modify the @code{stretchability} sub-property only, we
-thus have to copy the other sub-properties also. Again, for the
-curious, you can find the default values in file
-@file{scm/@/define-grobs@/.scm} by looking up the definition of the
-@code{VerticalAxisGroup} grob. The value for @code{stretchability}
-is taken from the definition of the @code{PianoStaff} context (in
-file @file{ly/@/engraver-init@/.ly}) so that the values are
-identical.

you have a single definition (such as @code{\dolce}) for all your
input files (see @ref{Style sheets}), then if the syntax changes, you
only need to update your single @code{\dolce} definition,
-instead of making changes throughout every @code{.ly} file.
