@node Staff notation
@section Staff notation
@notation{Staves} (singular: @notation{staff}) are created with
the @code{\new} or @code{\context} commands. For details, see
-@ref{Creating contexts}.
+@ref{Creating and referencing contexts}.
The basic staff context is @code{Staff}:
@rglos{staves}.

-The position of each the staff lines can also be altered. The values
-used are @emph{half} staff line spaces and the new position is relative
-to the normal center line. A single staff line is printed for every
-value entered so that the number of staff lines, as well as their
-position in the staff, can be changed with a single override.
+The position of each staff line can also be altered. A list of
+numbers sets each line's position. @code{0} corresponds to the normal
+center line, and the normal line positions are
+@code{(-4@tie{}-2@tie{}0@tie{}2@tie{}4)}. A single staff line is
+printed for every value entered so that the number of staff lines, as
+well as their position, can be changed with a single override.

-The clef position and the position of middle C may need to be adjusted
-accordingly to fit the new lines. See @ref{Clef}.
+To preserve typical stem directions (in the bottom half of the staff
+stems point up, in the top half they point down), align the center
+line (or space) of the customized staff with the position of the
+normal center line (0). The clef position and the position of
+middle@tie{}C may need to be adjusted accordingly to fit the new
+lines. See @ref{Clef}.
Staff line thickness can be altered. Ledger lines and note stems, by
default, are also affected.
