I'd suggest having references to the following, based on my limited
knowledge of the harp:

- glissandi
- tremolo (for bisbigliando)
- natural harmonics
- directional arpeggio and non-arpeggio
- workaroung for keeping both staves visible in an orchestral score,
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-08/msg00386.html
and http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?u=1&id=312

An LSR snippet could be used to demonstrate the main items; in the
case of glissandi, it would be desirable to have a demonstration of
different styles.
