The @qq{accepts} list of a context can be changed with the
-@code{\accepts} and @code{\denies} commands. @code{\accepts} adds a
+@code{\accepts} or @code{\denies} commands. @code{\accepts} adds a
context to the @qq{accepts} list and @code{\denies} removes a context
-from the list. For example, it would not normally be desirable for
-chord names to be nested within a @code{Staff} context, so the
-@code{ChordNames} context is not included by default in the @qq{accepts}

+does not accept a @code{StaffGroup} inside it by default.

Contexts properties are usually named in
@code{studlyCaps}. They mostly control the translation from
-music to notation, e.g. @code{localKeySignature} (for determining
+music to notation, e.g. @code{localAlterations} (for determining
whether to print accidentals), or @code{measurePosition} (for
determining when to print a bar line). Context properties can
change value over time while interpreting a piece of music;

+alists (such as @code{beamExceptions}, @code{keyAlterations},
@code{timeSignatureSettings}, etc.). These properties can only be
modified by completely re-defining them as alists.}
The way in which the notation contained within an input file is
interpreted is determined by the current input mode.
-@strong{Chord mode}
+@subsubsubheading Chord mode
This is activated with the @code{\chordmode} command, and causes
input to be interpreted with the syntax of chord notation, see
chord notation and rendered as chord names in the @code{ChordNames}
context, see @ref{Printing chord names}.
-@strong{Drum mode}
+@subsubsubheading Drum mode
This is activated with the @code{\drummode} command, and causes
input to be interpreted with the syntax of drum notation, see
Drum mode is also activated with the @code{\drums} command.
This also creates a new @code{DrumStaff} context and causes the
following input to be interpreted with the syntax of drum notation
-and rendered as drum symbols on a drum staff, see @ref{Basic
-percussion notation}.

-@strong{Figure mode}
+@subsubsubheading Figure mode
This is activated with the @code{\figuremode} command, and causes
input to be interpreted with the syntax of figured bass, see
and rendered as figured bass symbols in the @code{FiguredBass}
context, see @ref{Introduction to figured bass}.
-@strong{Fret and tab modes}
+@subsubsubheading Fret and tab modes
There are no special input modes for entering fret and tab symbols.

@ref{Fret diagram markups}).
-@strong{Lyrics mode}
+@subsubsubheading Lyrics mode
This is activated with the @code{\lyricmode} command, and causes
input to be interpreted as lyric syllables with optional durations
@code{\lyricsto} command which associates the following lyrics
with the preceding music.
-@strong{Markup mode}
+@subsubsubheading Markup mode
This is activated with the @code{\markup} command, and causes

-@b{Note mode}
+@subsubsubheading Note mode
This is the default mode or it may be activated with the
@code{\notemode} command. Input is interpreted as pitches,
are in lyric mode, chord mode or any other mode and want to insert
something that only can be done with note mode syntax.
