The <> specifies when to end the hairpin, but LilyPond also wants a reference 
graphical object to know where to end its printing.

I was hoping to keep the text above the example short.  It generalizes : Some 
notations are placed relative to a note head (or rest or bar-line). These may 
be attached to an empty chord, so long as some other input provides the note 
head (or rest or bar-line).


I expected complaints about vocal.itely.  It now avoids the tricky 
zero-length-spacer-rest in favor of a much longer input.  My evidence for the 
longer input being less cryptic is

documentation for the longer construction is in staff.itely
