Check out <URL:http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=630>.  It's not clear
to me why this is not in
<URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/snippets/> since it is
in the LilyPond tree under Documentation/snippets and it seems sort of
pointless to maintain it there without making it available.
