Then maybe the manual needs to be 3 times as large. I realize that in the real world this is not feasible, as writing and maintaining a user's manual requires a massive amount of work and time. Possibly a useful compromise would be to gradually accumulate a sort of bare-bones syntax manual that gave a one-line example of the use of each of as many properties as possible, with the context specified in each case being the lowest-level context to which the property was applicable. No explanations at all, just examples of valid syntax. (Some of the examples would have to be multi-line, I admit.) I have seen many questions on this mailing list to the effect that the User Manual or the Reference Manual implies that some property can be modified, but the syntax for doing it is not clear. A list of valid examples would at least give a possible clue in such a case. -- Tom _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
