First, on a general note, some sections are missing @predefined.
Should it be included even if there's only one predefined command?

Second, some thoughts about the individual sections:

Hidden notes:
- perhaps it should mention that objects attached to hidden notes are
still visible.

Parentheses:
- snippet needs an example for tweaking inside chords.
- possible @knownissues: doesn't create single parentheses around a
chord; as the snippet shows, is made up of stacked parentheses round
each note.

Balloon help:
- balloon text takes up space (pretty noticeable in the snippet).
Perhaps mention override or create \textLengthOn & -Off equivalents?

Grid lines:
- move explanation of gridInterval and engravers out of snippet.

Analysis brackets:
- though it's not part of any context by default, the examples should
add the engraver to the Voice context, otherwise the direction can't
be set per-voice.

Neil
