staffbreak [unit] ["f"]

Set a break in the current staff.

unit gives the width of the break (non default value, see below).

As a side effect, when the width exceeds 0.5 cm and when all the voices have the same staffbreak, the left side of the staff system is redrawn.

When f (for 'force') is not present, the staff break is removed if it occurs at start or end of the music line.

New in abc2svg-v1.23.0: when the width is absent, this command is changed into %%staves, but it does not resynchronize the voices. This is used to simplify "ossia" sequences.
