ink. An image was formed by pressing paper to the plate. The
stamping and cutting was completely done by hand. Making a correction
was cumbersome, if possible at all, so the engraving had to be perfect
-in one go. Engraving was a highly specialized skill, a craftsman had
-to complete around five years of training before she could
-be a master engraver, and another five years of experience were
+in one go. Engraving was a highly specialized skill; a craftsman had

rhythms, spacing corrections lead to subtle variations in the layout
of every line, giving each one a distinct visual signature. Without
this signature all lines would look the same, and they become like a

-concentration, she will have lost her place on the page.

Similarly, the strong visual look of bold symbols on heavy staff lines
stands out better when music is far away from reader, for example, if
note heads, the @code{Note_heads_engraver}.

-In this situation, the accidentals and staff are shared, but the
-stems, slurs, beams, etc., are private to each voice. Hence, engravers
-should be grouped. The engravers for note heads, stems, slurs, etc., go
-into a group called `Voice context,' while the engravers for key,
-accidental, bar, etc., go into a group called `Staff context.' In the
-case of polyphony, a single Staff context contains more than one Voice
-context.
-Similarly, more Staff contexts can be put into a single Score context.
