That's fine, but if I want to do that with each setting, I also need to write a small example around it. Between a day job, a 13 months old son, a wife, a choir and scores of scores to typeset, I don't really have the time. So if someone wants this in the form of small snippets, please go ahead and write the small snippets :-)

Could you wrap an introduction and conclusion around your common vocal settings, pick a place for the new section to go in the manual, and then send to Graham? Like Graham, I don't do vocal music, but your common settings form a cool pattern.
The same more or less applies here. I can transform what I wrote into a section, but it won't have many pretty pictures in it... What I *can* do is write a section (for chapter 7.3) and include either - a template with these settings put in, or - a full, working example (say, a two-page male choir piece by Grieg)
More generally to everybody, seems like it would be nice if we could encourage expert users in different domains to contribute something like a set of "common settings I use when engraving blah type of music", and send these to Graham for inclusion in the relevant section or sections of the manual.
I think that's probably a good idea, although it may be more relevant for either the LSR or (gasp!) the mailing list... -- Arvid
