Related to what I just wrote in my email on "GDP - Learning Manuall
Songs section", I hereby volunteer to write an introduction to the
art of setting properties in LilyPond. The intention is just to provide
a first overview of the different options available.
Would this be replacing LM 6.1 - 6.3, or adding new material / new
sections? (in the 2.11 docs, that would be 5.1 - 5.3)
6.1 is obviously broken right now, of course.
Another general concern about this is just what stays in "Changing
defaults" and what moves into the learning manual. I wasn't planning on
investigating this for another few months, though.
One reason not to include it into the learning manual, is that some
of the options that I will list, may seem very exotic to a new user. On
the other hand, from my experience of questions on the mailing list, I
know that many "somewhat experienced" users would benefit a lot from
such an overview.
I'd still prefer it in the LM. IMHO, it isn't a bad thing for new users
to be exposed to some "very exotic" tweaks -- I mean, I introduce scheme
programming in the LM! As long as it's clear that this is a optional
tweak, I'm not too concerned about complexity.
Cheers,
