True. Besides, the fewer links there are, the more likely new users are to follow any of them. There _is_ such a thing as too many links*; I'll bear that in mind when I start adding more @ref.

* or rather: there's such a thing as too many unknown links. If the links
are self-explanatory (such as "a _Staff_ context contains _Voice_ contexts"),
it's good to have many.


Maybe one alternative is to skip the links to the music expressions
(*Event) all together since they can be found by navigating
Arpeggio -> Arpeggio_engraver -> arpeggio-event.
This would also reduce the number of links that have to be
kept up to date manually in the manual.

I favor this solution. Is this ok?

Cheers,
