I don't like it.

That's because you've put all the different style stuff
where it doesn't belong, in "Common notation".  "Common
notation" should contain _only_ things which are used
in _all_ the styles.  "Common" here means "belonging
equally to all", not its other meaning of "appearing
frequently, familar".  So anything that is style-specific
should not be there, hence there should be no headings
like "Opera" in "Common".  Take these out and put them
back in a "Specific styles" section, as we agreed
earlier, and I'll be happy.
