Re: StaffSymbol: line-positions

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you check the warning printouts from LilyPond when processing the
second example, you will notice that you have misspelled the property name!

Otherwise, both of the examples seem to do what I would expect them to do.
I don't understand exactly what you mean by "only if the staff is empty 
or the
notes are on ledger lines.".
