Yes, but I see some weaknesses in our docs.
- Glossary: staff  should link to system
- Glossary: both staff and system  could benefit from images
- Learning: add some link(s) to Glossary: system.  Currently we
  have none!
address@hidden:~/src/lilypond/Documentation/learning$ git grep
"@rgloss{system}" 

I would recommend adding this to Learning 2 Tutorial.  Maybe
somewhere in 2.3 Multiple notes at once; maybe somewhere in
2.5 Final touches.  I'll let somebody else think about it in more
detail and produce a patch.
