Issue 3873
Added a clarifying paragraph explaining that (the same)
diagnostics message can occur in multiple places for
(the same) input depending on the type and its context.
indicated line of your input file, try checking one or two lines
above the indicated position.
+Please note that diagnostics can be triggered at any point during the
+many stages of processing. For example if there are parts of the input
+that are processed multiple times (i.e. in midi and layout output), or
+if the same music variable is used in multiple contexts the same message
+may appear several times. Diagnostics produced at a @q{late} stage (i.e
+bar checks) might also be issued multiple times.
