I'm relatively new to using lilypond. I've struggled with the syntax and have had problems finding clear documentation for certain types of markup.
The wiki seems like a great place for people to contribute documentation that can then be tidied up by Graham Percival (or whoever) and folded into the regular docs, but unfortunately it seems like there's hardly any documentation there! I'd like to suggest that we more actively use the wiki to document problems we face (and hopefully solve). Poking through the primary documentation to see the same minimal descriptions of components or formatting can be quite frustrating. I'm not sure if it's possible, but it would be great to have a link on the documentation page for "Lyrics" that would go directly to a search of all wiki pages on the topic of "Lyrics" (or perhaps that contain that word in their title?). The page of templates is VERY helpful. I've been using pages from the Mutopia project to figure out how to implement certain types of formatting, especially when I didn't understand or couldn't find decipherable documentation. I'm not sure if it's possible to link lilypond docs or the wiki to their stuff (some kind of PermaLink would be prudent), but at least the docs that are public domain could be copied in part or full into our documentation. -- R _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
