I use Appendix E only. > While people are thinking, what do you think about the idea that > contents of indices aren't supposed to overlap? (Maybe flip to the > back of a few actual books here to check?) I very much dislike that. We use different fonts (via different indexing commands) to provide a clear distinction between concepts and commands, and LilyPond's clean naming schemes for properties, context, engravers, etc., should additionally help a user to find the stuff he or she needs. Looking into one of the most complicated books regarding indices, the new, third edition of the 'LaTeX companion', I see that it has only a single index (with both concepts and commands) – this two-volume book has in total about 1500 pages (not counting the indices), and the index is about 150 pages.
