The <line-detail> element
Parent element: <staff-details>
If the <staff-lines> element is present, the appearance of each line may be individually specified with a <line-detail> element.
The print-object attribute allows lines to be hidden within a staff. This is used in special situations such as a widely-spaced percussion staff where a note placed below the higher line is distinct from a note placed above the lower line. Hidden staff lines are included when specifying clef lines and determining <display-step> / <display-octave> values, but are not counted as lines for the purposes of the <system-layout> and <staff-layout> elements.
