I say no, but a few people here wanted directions to NR 1 in NR 2.
I was thinking of an expanded "seealso" section.
Kind-of like NR 1.2.1.1, but without the Duration information --
ie only the "for proportional notation, see blah. For ancient
music durations, see blah."

We don't need *any* of these. This material is *completely*
covered in NR 1.
However, I'll grant that it would be nice to see something like
2.3
2.3.1 Bowed instruments
2.3.1.1 Material covered elsewhere for strings
Slurs are indicated with @ref{slurs}. Bowings are indicated with
@ref{articulations}.
Fingerings are indicated with @ref{fingerings}.
Artificial harmonics are created with @ref{special noteheads}
@seealso
Notation Referenece: @ref{the-above-stuff}
Snippets: @lsrdir{Unfretted strings}
- the name "material covered elsewhere for XXX" sucks; it's just
used as an example. You'll need to find a better name for this.
- yes, it seems a bit weird to have "material covered elsewhere"
as the only item in the chapter... but hey, string music is
easy. :)

Not in the .itely directly; they'll go in "Unfretted strings"
list.

No. Or, err, maybe "yes".
There's one tag per section. If that's what you were suggesting,
then it's already done. If you were suggesting more tags, then
`no'.
The old section was called "strings"... I don't know if
anything's been tagged with that yet, but the tag itself does
exist. Nobody was supposed to tag stuff with NR 2 stuff, pending
our sorting this out but I don't know if that's happened or noNo.
