+ " Hara kiri staves kill themselves if they are empty. This
+example really contains three staves, but as they progress, empty ones
+are removed: this example has three staves, but some of them
+disappear: note how the 2nd line only has the bar number 2. (That the
+bar number is printed might be considered a bug, however, the scenario
+of all staves disappearing doesn't happen in practice.)
+
+Any staff brackets and braces are removed, both in the single staff
+and no staff case.
+
+This example was done with a pianostaff, which has fixed distance
+alignment; this should not confuse the mechanism.
