@cindex rehearsal marks, tweaking placement
-Note that bar numbers, metronome marks and rehearsal marks are not
-shown. By default these are created in the @code{Score} context and
-their @code{outside-staff-priority} is ignored relative to the layout
-objects which are created in the @code{Staff} context. If you wish to
-place bar numbers, metronome marks or rehearsal marks in accordance
-with the value of their @code{outside-staff-priority} the
-@code{Bar_number_engraver}, @code{Metronome_mark_engraver} or
-@code{Mark_engraver} respectively should be removed from the
-@code{Score} context and placed in the top @code{Staff} context. If
-this is done, these marks will be given the following default
-@code{outside-staff-priority} values:
-
-@multitable @columnfractions .3 .3
-@headitem Layout Object @tab Priority
-@item @code{RehearsalMark} @tab @code{1500}
-@item @code{MetronomeMark} @tab @code{1000}
-@item @code{BarNumber} @tab @code{ 100}
-@end multitable

If the default values of @code{outside-staff-priority} do not give you
the placing you want, the priority of any of the objects may be
overridden. Suppose we would like the ottava bracket to be placed
c,4 c c c |
@end lilypond
+Note that some of these objects, in particular bar numbers,
+metronome marks and rehearsal marks, live by default in the
+@code{Score} context, so be sure to use the correct context

-Here's a further example taken from the opening of the left-hand
-staff of Chopin's Prelude Op 28 No. 2. We see that the beam
-collides with the upper notes:
+Here's a further example. We see that the beams
+collide with the ties:

{
- \clef "bass"
- << { b,8 ais, b, g, } \\ { e,8 g e, g } >>
- << { b,8 ais, b, g, } \\ { e,8 g e, g } >>

+ { e''8 e'' e'' e'' e'' e'' e'' e'' f''2 g'' }

}
@end lilypond
@noindent
This can be resolved by manually moving both ends of the beam
-up from their position at 2 staff-spaces above the center line to,
-say, 3:
+up from their position at 1.81 staff-spaces below the center line to,

-@subsection Avoiding tweaks with slower processing
-
-LilyPond can perform extra checks while it processes input files.
-These checks will take extra time to perform, but fewer manual tweaks
-may be required to obtain an acceptable result. If a text script
-or part of the lyrics extends over the margins these checks will
-compress that line of the score just enough to fit within the
-margins.
-
-To be effective under all circumstances these checks must be enabled
-by placing the overrides using @code{\context} within a @code{\layout}
-block, rather than in-line in music, as follows:
-
-@example
-\score @{
- @{ @dots{}notes@dots{} @}
- \layout @{
- \context @{
- \Score
- % Makes sure text scripts and lyrics are within the paper margins
- \override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
- \override NonMusicalPaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
- @}
- @}
-@}
-@end example
-
-However, @code{keep-inside-line} is expensive and the recommendation
-is to not enable it, to allow for faster processing, until creating
-a final version. This way you do not need to manually add @code{\break}
-commands to avoid text running off the right-hand side of the page.
