Re: Document <> and improve other simultanous music documentation. (issue 6248080)

We'll likely take months to get the documentation connected with this
delicate issue into a state where it would empower the gentle reader to
make an educated choice himself.

Well, we have two separate complete sentences, and joined with a comma
the reader is easily confused into reading "attempts" as a verb, even
though admittedly it would be singular and thus not a complete match to
"the simultaneous sections".

To me this suggests using a semicolon (or reword everything, but then I
am lazy) in order to save the reader from backtracking.

Obviously, I'll let myself be overruled by native speakers if this
reasoning is considered wrong.
