Working with input files contains: 
 \include, 
 \keepWithTag 
 \removeWithTag
 \displayLilyMusic

and Controlling output contains:
 \displayMusic

These seem like "other notation" to me, or maybe I
have a wider definition of notation than you.  I see
"other notation" as meaning "those commands which have
not so far been covered".

We'll have to find something - the section is certainly
not Input syntax!

So we need a heading that follows
Musical notation
Specialist notation

How about

Further notation
General notation
Non-musical notation
