This section explains how to influence the appearance of staves,
how to print scores with more than one staff, and how to add tempo
New single staff contexts may be defined. For details, see
@ref{Defining new contexts}.

-thickness.

-Ledger line thickness can be set independently of staff line
-thickness. In the example the two numbers are factors multiplying
-the staff line thickness and the staff line spacing. The two
-contributions are added to give the ledger line thickness.
+However, it is possible to set ledger line thickness independently of
+staff lines. The two values required multiply the staff line thickness
+with the staff line spacing and are then added together to give the
+ledger line thickness.

-In general, @code{\startStaff} and @code{\stopStaff} can be used
-to stop or start a staff in the middle of a score.
+Legder lines can also be made to appear inside the staff where custom
+staff lines are required. The example shows the default position of
+ledger lines when the explicit @code{legder-position} is and is not set.
+The @code{stopStaff} is needed in the example to revert the

Removing @code{Staff_symbol_engraver} also hides bar lines. If
bar line visibility is forced, formatting errors may occur. In
this case, use the following overrides instead of removing the
