because it looks more computerized and uniform. This really puzzled us
for quite a while. We wanted to improve computer notation, but we first
had to figure out what was wrong with it.
The answer lies in the precise, mathematical uniformity of the newer
edition. Find the bar line in the middle of each line: in the

natural variation, while in the newer version they line up almost
perfectly. This is shown in these simplified page layout diagrams,

In this situation, the accidentals and staff are shared, but the
stems, slurs, beams, etc., are private to each voice. Hence,
engravers should be grouped. The engravers for note heads, stems,

context contains more than one Voice context. Similarly, multiple
Staff contexts can be put into a single Score context. The Score
context is the top level notation context.
