I very rarely include s1*4 \bar "|." in my global variable -- is
this good practice?

Why manually number the bars? It's true that users can delete
them easily, but they should be very familiar with
one-bar-per-line by now. I definitely like the explicit bar
checks, though. :)

... and people ask me why I stopped playing cello after 21 years
of study and am learning violin... :(

Interesting! I hadn't realized that you could set up
instrumentName like this!
- is it worth including instr or shortName or whatever that
command is called these days?
- how do you feel about adding a newline after the \with { ?
Again, that's the style of the rest of the docs.
> %\midi { } %% uncomment this line to enable MIDI output
- manual style calls for comments to be placed on the line above:
%% uncomment this line to enable MIDI output
% \midi{}
- manual style uses two-space indents. This is important for
looking at the docs in info and/or @example. Texinfo doesn't
always respect tabs, so we have to use spaces manually. :(
The actual material looks good; I'm happy to withdraw my objection
to "real music".
Cheers,
