- Use barchecks for multi-measure examples.
- Specify first duration of every measure/line.
- Quote unquoted \clef strings (eg., \clef "treble").
- Change "\TimeKey" to "\keyTime".
- Change "\new Staff << ... >>" to "\new Staff { ... }"
for single-voice staves.
- Remove redundant durations and excess indents.
- Minor edits to some examples in content/formatting
for clarity.

Next we need to add a staff for the pedal organ.
Let's add this structure to the score block, and adjust the indenting.
We also add the appropriate clefs, ensure stems, ties and slurs in
each voice on the upper staff point to the right direction with
-@code{\voiceOne} and @code{\voiceTwo}, and enter the time signature
-and key to each staff using our predefined variable, @code{\TimeKey}.
