Like this:
"6.1.8 rests and 6.1.9 should not be part of 6.1 pitches, because 
they're not real notes.  Move them to 6.3 rhythms instead"

or

"9.3 Vocal music is too large.  Split it up into:
9.3 Adding lyrics
9.3.1 Setting simple songs
9.3.2 Entering lyrics.
...

and
9.4 Multiple stanzas and aligning lyrics
9.4.1 foo
9.4.2 bar
...

Also, 9.3.8 Ambitus should be moved into chapter 7"


In other words, treat the subsections as atoms (indivisible parts) and 
form them into new structures.

The reasons:
- I don't want new proposed subsections right now, since writing new 
docs takes a lot more work than rearranging docs.  We'll tackle this 
step in about a week, once I know how much help we have

- I don't want renamed subsections yet, so that it's easy for everybody 
to compare the new arrangement with the current one.  When we start 
renaming subsections, it gets much more complicated.

Yes, sorry.  I should have explained that.
