 I think that the example is demonstrating that you can add breaks in a
music expression that contains only breaks and spacing information, as
long as that expression is in parallel with the music.

I use this feature often in my scores; I create a spacing variable and
actually add it in a parallel context in a Staff.

I agree that it is poorly worded and needs to be fixed.

Thanks,

Carl
