Top-level contexts – staff containers
StaffGroup
Groups staves while adding a bracket on the left side, grouping
the staves together. The bar lines of the contained staves are
connected vertically. StaffGroup only consists of a collection
of staves, with a bracket in front and spanning bar lines.
ChoirStaff
Identical to StaffGroup except that the bar lines of the
contained staves are not connected vertically.
GrandStaff
A group of staves, with a brace on the left side, grouping the staves together. The bar lines of the contained staves are connected vertically.
PianoStaff
Just like GrandStaff, but with support for instrument names
to the left of each system.
