A cluster indicates a continuous range of pitches to be played. They
can be denoted as the envelope of a set of notes. They are entered by
applying the function makeClusters
to a sequence of
chords, e.g.,
\makeClusters { <c e > <b f'> }
Ordinary notes and clusters can be put together in the same staff, even simultaneously. In such a case no attempt is made to automatically avoid collisions between ordinary notes and clusters.

Examples: contemporary/cluster.ly .
Music expressions like << { g8 e8 } a4 >>
are not printed
accurately. Use <g a>8 <e a>8
instead.
