-@notation{Staves} (singular: @notation{staff}) are created with
-the @code{\new} or @code{\context} commands. For details, see
-@ref{Creating contexts}.
-
-The basic staff context is @code{Staff}:
-
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-\new Staff { c4 d e f }
-@end lilypond
-
-The @code{DrumStaff} context creates a five-line staff set up for
-a typical drum set. Each instrument is shown with a different
-symbol. The instruments are entered in drum mode following a
-@code{\drummode} command, with each instrument specified by name.
-For details, see @ref{Percussion staves}.
-
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote]
-\new DrumStaff {
- \drummode { cymc hh ss tomh }
-}
-@end lilypond
-
-@code{RhythmicStaff} creates a single-line staff that only
-displays the rhythmic values of the input. Real durations are
-preserved. For details, see @ref{Showing melody rhythms}.
-
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-\new RhythmicStaff { c4 d e f }
-@end lilypond
-
-@code{TabStaff} creates a tablature with six strings in standard
-guitar tuning. For details, see @ref{Default tablatures}.
-
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-\new TabStaff { c4 d e f }
-@end lilypond
-
-There are two staff contexts specific for the notation of ancient
-music: @code{MensuralStaff} and @code{VaticanaStaff}. They are
-described in @ref{Pre-defined contexts}.
-
-The @code{GregorianTranscriptionStaff} context creates a staff to
-notate modern Gregorian chant. It does not show bar lines.
-
-@lilypond[verbatim,quote,relative=2]
-\new GregorianTranscriptionStaff { c4 d e f e d }
-@end lilypond
-
-New single staff contexts may be defined. For details, see
-@ref{Defining new contexts}.
