What even makes it more difficult is when I don't even know what something is called at all (no terminology) and/or when I have no clue how to succinctly describe what it is that I don't know. For example, the tremolo; I recognized the graphic but I had no way to search for it by appearance, only read every line of the documentation until I find it and the "ah ha".
This is where I imagine the visual index is most helpful. But I do wonder how often the Music Glossary is overlooked as a resource. It includes pictures for entries; in this case, tremolo is represented. Going outside of LilyPond's manuals, Wikipedia has a good list [1].
