Err... by "run GUB", I mean "generate sheet music using the downloaded .exe". Even if somebody can't do anything else, with this they can still contribute a great deal -- creating examples, sorting/extending LSR stuff, etc. Frankly, in some ways I wish that we had *more* contributors who could only run GUB. There's a lot of tasks that I consider "too simple" for the git-savvy people to do, so as a result they tend to remain undone. :| >> - compile the docs without examples by running texi2html manually > > Tick, but this is often screwed up if the version > number in snippets is bumped by an LSR update, since > this means they can no longer be compiled with the > latest released version. > >> - compile the docs with GUB > > Must try this ... Err, if the version number in snippet matters, then you *have* been compiling with GUB. In the "compile docs without examples", I meant something like - replace @lilypond[...] with @example - replace @end lilypond with @end example - compile docs with texi2html, without lilypond-book.
