@code{\instrumentSwitch} to create a detailed list of the

@code{\addInstrumentDefinition} command has two arguments: an

@cindex fragments

-Fragments of other parts can be inserted directly into a music
-expression; this is called @emph{quotation}. Before a part can be
-quoted, the @code{\addQuote} command must be used to initialize
-the quoted fragment. This command must be used in the toplevel
-scope. The first argument is an identifying string, and the
-second is a music expression:
+It is very common for one voice to double the some of the music from
+another voice. For example, the first and second violins may play the
+same notes during a passage of music. In LilyPond this is accomplished
+by letting one voice @emph{quote} the other voice without having to
+re-enter it.

-The @code{\quoteDuring} command is used to indicate when the
-quotation should take place. The corresponding measures from the
-quotation are inserted into the music expression. The syntax is
-similar to @code{\addQuote}:
+The @code{\quoteDuring} command is used to indicate the point where the
