Also, maintaining cross references to this extent becomes a pain. Am I being lazy? Maybe -- but given that GDP has taken approximately 1000 hours so far and we're only halfway done, I feel justified in cutting corners. If somebody *NOT* currently doing another lilypond job wants to volunteer to add these, I'll consider it. At a rough guess, you're looking at a total of 10 hours of work (not including learning how to contribute to GDP), plus 30 minutes per month to maintain these references.
