/pingu/staff left length = ⟨length⟩(default: 28mm)

Requires staff left.

Change the staff length:

/pingu/staff left code app = ⟨tikz-code⟩

Requires staff left.

Similar to /pingu/staff left code but does not override but (locally) append to previous calls.

/pingu/staff left code pre = ⟨tikz-code⟩

Requires staff left.

Similar to /pingu/staff left code but does not override but (locally) prepend to previous calls.
