Usually I avoid "+1" comments, but here, I really have to echo what Steve said. Especially in the FLOSS world, documentation is an afterthought at best, but Lilypond's documentation beats that of many commercial packages. (I could cite a remarkable blooper from Max/MSP's buffer~ help, where the description of the "read" message leads you to expect a different argument order from the real one.) Nice work, all!
