+Accidentals work: the second note does not get a sharp. The third and
+fourth show forced and courtesy accidentals

Multiple measure rests do not collide with barlines and clefs. They
are not expanded when you set @code{Score.skipBars}. Although the
multi-measure-rest is a Spanner, minimum distances are set to keep it
colliding from barlines.

If @code{Score.skipBars} is set,
@mudelafile{staccato-pos.ly}
+Dynamics appear below or above the staff. If multiple dynamics are
+linked with (de)crescendi, they should be on the same line.

@section Chord names
Chord names are generated from a list pitches, and are customisable

@section Beams, slurs and other spanners
Beaming is generated automatically. Beams may cross bar lines. In that

+bracket should be equal

@section Lyrics
Lyrics can be set to a melody automatically. Excess lyrics will be
same value. Clef changes also get extra space, but not as much as
barlines.

Even if a line is very tightly spaced, there will still be room
between prefatory matter and the following notes. The space after the
prefatory is very rigid. In contrast, the space before the barline

+Text is set with empty horizontal dimensions. The boolean property
+textNonEmpty is used to respect the horizontal size of text.

Breaks can be encouraged and discouraged using @code{\break} and

+Hara kiri staffs kill themselves if they are empty. This example really
+contains two staffs, but the second contains only spaces, and is
+therefore removed.

Fonts are available in a default set of sizes: 11, 13, 16, 20, 23 and
26pt staffheight. Sizes of the text fonts and symbol fonts are made
to match the staff dimensions.
