Re: Doc: Added \compoundMeter function to NR (issue4837050)

Hi James
Needs a bit more work along the lines suggested by Janek.  This is quite
a tricky concept, and a little more explanation would help here
(although maybe not quite as verbose as Janek's helpful explanation -
leave out the musical bits :)

Also, you can't just delete the unwanted snippets from the git tree -
they'll reappear at the next LSR update.  You'll need to delete them
from snippets/rhythms.snippet-list and change the entries in the LSR to
remove them from the docs.

The parentheses would be clear enough if we just reinsert "as" or
"since" at their start.

I agree.  First explain what a single list does, then move on to explain
multiple lists.
