-/** Spanner should know about the items which it should consider:
+/**
+  A spanner is a symbol whose appearance can only be calculated after the breaking problem is solved.
+
+  Examples
+
+  - (de)crescendo
+  - slur
+  - beam
+  - bracket
+  
+
+  Spanner should know about the items which it should consider:
     e.g. slurs should be steep enough to "enclose" all those items. This
     is absolutely necessary for beams, since they have to adjust the
     length of stems of notes they encompass.
