[Therion] Hiding cross-section symbols

And a followup question!  More secret incantations ...

Although the cross-section lines and scraps are now gone, the arrows that I used to connect them are still there.  I tried adding an option to the arrow line, like this:

	-context sections

but that only produces an error "not enough option arguments -- -context -- must be 2".  I changed it to read

	-context line sections

and got "invalid object context -- line sections".

Page 29 of the Therion Book implies that something like this should be possible.  I don't want to hide ALL arrows - just the ones that are used in association with cross-sections.

Maybe I need to use some other context besides "sections"?  Perhaps define those arrows as context of "section_arrow", then use "symbol-hide group section_arrow"?
