If you'd like to propose additions to the docs, we'd appreciate it if you'd
tell us where the addition should go.

Also, in a case like this, a simple example that shows the behavior 
being described can help understand possibly-confusing wording.
If you could work up a simple example (one bar long) that
demonstrates the point you're trying to make, I'll add it to the
documentation.
