Avoid (or reduce) objects that increase the vertical size of a
-system. For example, volta repeats (or alternate repeats) require
-extra space. If these repeats are spread over two systems, they
-will take up more space than one system with the volta repeats and
-another system without. For example, dynamics that @q{stick out} of
-a system can be moved closer to the staff:
+system. For example, volta brackets for alternative repeat endings
+require extra space. If these endings are spread over two systems,
+they take up more space than if they were on the same system.
+As another example, dynamics that @q{stick out} of a system
