Because it's too many things to list in the body of the NR.  We try to keep
the body of the NR as short as feasible, and put exhaustive lists in the
appendices.

You make a .ly file that shows everything you want, then include a reference
to that file in Documentation/notation/notation-appendices.itely.

Or alternatively, you make your own table to show things in
