Outside-staff objects are automatically placed to avoid collisions.

Objects with the lower value of the @code{outside-staff-priority}
property are placed nearer to the staff, and other outside-staff
objects are then raised as far as necessary to avoid collisions.

Let's now see how the properties in the previous section can

because the ledger line above the rest is inserted automatically.
