>From usrguide.tex :- "the character & is carried straight through to the TeX output and the characters && produce a \enotes\notes pair. Thus the input DEFG & ABcd && A4 & e2 c2| produces [2 staves] To explain this to those unfamiliar with MusicTeX, the DEFG are put on the lowest stave. The & then tells MusicTeX to move up a stave, where it puts the ABcd. The first notes of each group are aligned. The && (or a bar line) moves the output back down to the lowest stave and resets the alignment, so that in this case, the A4 is on the lower stave, and is aligned with the e2 on the upper stave.
