Fine, but I'm sure we will see the same basic question coming
back in other situations, where the curly braces instead belong
to a \repeat{...} or \relative{...} or \grace{...} or ... and sooner or
later we will exhaust both snippet writers as well as the users
trying to search the growing amount of snippets.

The solution is to try to make the general principles as clear as
possible in the manual, so you don't have to include a specific
example of every single special case in the LSR.
