I had a vague recollection that this was part of the doc policy, and it's certainly listed here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-09/msg00486.html * Do not use abbreviations (don't, won't, etc.). If you do, use a comma after it: blabla blabla, i.e., blabla blabla I don't know why it's not in CG though.
