-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, slurs, etc., go
-into a group called `Voice context,' while the engravers for key,
-accidental, bar, etc., go into a group called `Staff context.' In the
-case of polyphony, a single Staff context contains more than one Voice
-context.
-Similarly, more Staff contexts can be put into a single Score context.

A rest's vertical position may be explicitly specified by entering a
-note with the @code{\rest} keyword appended. This makes manual
-formatting in polyphonic music easier. Automatic rest collision
-formatting will leave these rests alone

-In Note, Chord, and Lyrics mode, durations are designated by numbers
-and dots: durations are entered as their reciprocal values. For example,
-a quarter note is entered using a @code{4} (since it is a 1/4 note), while
-a half note is entered using a @code{2} (since it is a 1/2 note). For notes
-longer than a whole you must use variables
