addendum to \break in examples

2010-12-20 Thread Graham Percival
I was reviewing somebody's doc patch earlier today and suggested using \break to clarify the input/output of an example. Another great way of doing this is with notes. Instead of repeating the same note series, change them a bit and make a musical sequence: % bad: c2 d e d | c d e d | c d e d
