True.  Besides, the fewer links there are, the more likely new users are
to follow any of them.  There _is_ such a thing as too many links*;
I'll bear that in mind when I start adding more @ref.

* or rather: there's such a thing as too many unknown links. If the links are self-explanatory (such as "a _Staff_ context contains _Voice_ contexts"),
it's good to have many.

Maybe one alternative is to skip the links to the music expressions
(*Event) all together since they can be found by navigating
Arpeggio -> Arpeggio_engraver -> arpeggio-event.
This would also reduce the number of links that have to be
kept up to date manually in the manual.

I favor this solution.  Is this ok?
