What if you allowed users to do it in smaller bites? Would you consider a "manual with comments" (like php and mysql have) on the web, or even a wiki manual? The "manual with comments" would allow the users to easily make comments on the manual, and you could incorporate changes from (or based on) the comments into the manual as time permits. The wiki approach allows the users to directly change and extend the manual. I suspect it would improve faster, but you lose some control over it. Wikis keep a history, so you can undo changes if needed. It would also need some customization to work with lilypond-book. ~ John Williams _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
