That's fair. But don't you think midi-extension usage
should be explained somewhere -- since it's in the NEWS
section?
One small issue I'd like to raise is that Windows users
running LilyPond with the jEdit/LilyPondTool package
can't play the MIDI file *WITHIN* jEdit while the
extension is .mid (which, I should mention, is pretty
handy). This will surely change when 2.12 comes out
(LilyPondTool generally updates only with stable
releases), but in the meantime, it would be nice for the
docs to explain how to restore this feature that is, at
leasttemporarily, essentially broken.
And about the options page going obsolete, is there a
way to automatically generate current -dhelp options
within Texinfo, like with a @lilypondfile or something?
I'm a little out of my league here, but I'm suggesting
it in case it's do-able one way or another.
