  10 Setting the @code{transparent} property will cause an object to be
  11 printed in @qq{invisible ink}: the object is not printed, but all its
  12 other behavior is retained.  The object still takes up space, it takes
  13 part in collisions, and slurs, ties and beams can be attached to it.

  16 This snippet demonstrates how to connect different voices using ties.
  17 Normally, ties only connect two notes in the same voice.  By
  18 introducing a tie in a different voice, and blanking the first up-stem
  19 in that voice, the tie appears to cross voices.
