If I may intervene here: about the documentation quality, I'd must say I disagree.
As I said in another post, I find it (globaly) very high ended. I started LP about 3 weeks from now, I'm just finishing the full notation PDF book of almost 900 pages! Of course, I still have a lot more to learn and understand, and still make many mistakes in my codes. I need constantly the manual when working for the moment. What I like about it, are the numerous exemples. For the "slur" page you were pointing out, I personnaly learnt more in reading the codes exemple rather than the full sentences that were sometimes a bit abstract for me. Now I have the feeling it would be necessary to read it again as I missed some points in the first pages for which I gathered all the elements at the end of the manual. I spend more time now in the "Internal Manual" even if I don't fully understand how to use yet. But I found many commands which sometime worked, sometime didn't! If I may suggest, it would be perfect if we had an illustration for each command available in the "Internal Manual". An exemple of the code in a small context, or maybe a picture. I know this would be a hell of a job considering the numerous of all the commands... ! But for instance, I found that very helpful in the \markup chapter, and I'm sure I would have won some time if this was present. The "Snippets" page is also very helpful. But still, sometimes I wanted to try some of the Internal propriety commands, without succes, and when I pasted its name in all documentations, couldn't find any exemple which could have helped me understand my mistake. So yeah, for me, the manual was very good, very helpful, though I missed more exemples in the huge "Internal Manual"! -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
