Here's the TODO list for Staff. If there's anything to add, please
speak up now.
QUESTIONS
System start delimiters:
The difference between GrandStaff and StaffGroup should be
explained here. As it now stands, it seems as if the only
difference is a graphical one: brace or bracket. But according to
the prog. reference, StaffGroup can contain most/all other staff
types, whereas GrandStaff only contains FiguredBass and Staff, so
perhaps SG should come first? But this "can contain" doesn' seem
to mean nesting, because this:
\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\melody
\new GrandStaff <<
\melody
\melody
>>
\melody
\melody
>>
does not "contain" any GrandStaff at all, only a blank line.
Should be clarified: what does it mean to "contain", and how does
one achieve the "nested" layout?
* I've added a reference to the lsr snippet with use of
InternalStaffGroup, which is much more likely to be useful to most
people. perhaps that reference should be expanded to a full
description with an example, to make it more prominent.
* The lilypond example to the description of the
systemStartDelimiterHierarchy property, is very convoluted.
I don't understand the scheme syntax of this property, which is
said to be a pair, but according to the "definition" of a pair in
the tutorial, pairs have the form (x . y). This should be
explained. What do the letters a, b, and d do, why is there no c?
* the systemStartSquare should be mentioned, incl. a bit of
code to show how to use it.
* should we make a new @unnumberedsubsubsec Nesting staff groups ?
Staff symbol
* rename to Staff appearance ?
* make new @unnumberedsubsubsec Ossia ?
Hiding staves
* if new Ossia, then change ref to Ossia.
