of notes. We are not quite ready yet to see how to correct this,
so we shall leave this problem until a later section (see ... )
-FIXME: Move the following words and example into Tweaks or
-somewhere more suitable, leaving just a ref here. -td
-
-Ways of correcting horizontal placings are described fully
-in the Notation Reference.
-We introduce just one here, the @code{force-hshift} property of
-@code{NoteColumn}. The lower two notes of the first chord (i.e,
-those in the third voice) should not be shifted away from the
-note column of the higher two notes. To correct this we set
-@code{force-hshift} of these notes to zero.
-The lower note of the second chord is best placed just to the
-right of the higher notes. We achieve this by setting
-@code{force-hshift} of this note to 0.5, ie half a notehead's
-width to the right of the note column of the higher notes.

-In orchestral music, all notes are printed twice. Once in a part for
-the musicians, and once in a full score for the conductor. Variables can
-be used to avoid double work. The music is entered once, and stored in
-a variable. The contents of that variable is then used to generate
-both the part and the full score.
-
-It is convenient to define the notes in a special file. For example,
-suppose that the file @file{horn-music.ly} contains the following part
-of a horn/@/bassoon duo
-
-@example
-hornNotes = \relative c @{
- \time 2/4
- r4 f8 a cis4 f e d
-@}
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-Then, an individual part is made by putting the following in a file
-
-@example
-\include "horn-music.ly"
-\header @{
- instrument = "Horn in F"
-@}
-
-@{
- \transpose f c' \hornNotes
-@}
-@end example
-
-The line
-
-@example
-\include "horn-music.ly"
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-substitutes the contents of @file{horn-music.ly} at this position in
-the file, so @code{hornNotes} is defined afterwards. The command
-@code{\transpose f@tie{}c'} indicates that the argument, being
-@code{\hornNotes}, should be transposed by a fifth upwards. Sounding
-@code{f} is denoted by notated @code{c'}, which corresponds with the
-tuning of a normal French Horn in@tie{}F. The transposition can be seen
-in the following output
-
-@lilypond[quote,ragged-right]
-\transpose f c' \relative c {
- \time 2/4
- r4 f8 a cis4 f e d
-}
-@end lilypond
-
-In ensemble pieces, one of the voices often does not play for many
-measures. This is denoted by a special rest, the multi-measure
-rest. It is entered with a capital @code{R} followed by a duration
-(@code{1}@tie{}for a whole note, @code{2}@tie{}for a half note,
-etc.). By multiplying the
-duration, longer rests can be constructed. For example, this rest
-takes 3@tie{}measures in 2/4 time
-
-@example
-R2*3
-@end example
-
-When printing the part, multi-rests
-must be condensed. This is done by setting a run-time variable
-
-@example
-\set Score.skipBars = ##t
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-This command sets the property @code{skipBars} in the
-@code{Score} context to true (@code{##t}). Prepending the rest and
-this option to the music above, leads to the following result
-
-@lilypond[quote,ragged-right]
-\transpose f c' \relative c {
- \time 2/4
- \set Score.skipBars = ##t
- R2*3
- r4 f8 a cis4 f e d
-}
-@end lilypond
-
-
-The score is made by combining all of the music together. Assuming
-that the other voice is in @code{bassoonNotes} in the file
-@file{bassoon-music.ly}, a score is made with
-
-@example
-\include "bassoon-music.ly"
-\include "horn-music.ly"
