Instruction manuals, especially those for a machine, usually make clear what actions the user takes versus what the machine does. This manual doesn't even use third person (as in "The user indicates the octave with..." and "The software chooses the traditional...") but prefers passive voice with the actor implied by contextual clues. Sometimes the only clue is the choice of modal verb between "can" or "might", "must" or "will". https://codereview.appspot.com/97110045/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
