Thanks for contacting us about this, Guy, and for the thorough-going report. Your suggestion for a change to the docs seems sound. It can be very frustrating, trying to find your way around the lilypond docs. You might find the following visual index useful, a recent piece of work by Joram: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-01/msg00916.html Urs Liska replied to your post (thanks, Urs) to point out that we take bug reports against the documentation on the bug-lilypond mailing list in a concise format known as "Documentation Suggestions". See: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/contributor/documentation-suggestions The idea is that you, the reporter, are the person who has the best understanding of the problem right now, so we ask you to tell us what to add to the docs. Otherwise, a doc author has to figure it out, sometime in the future, and we want the authors to focus on updating docs, not figuring out problems. Nick Payne recently made a very nice job of one of these doc suggestion things: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2013-03/msg00033.html And here is another good example: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2013-02/msg00046.html If you adapt the text of your original post into that format, we'll create a tracker and get it onto the work list. Send it to bug-lilypond or just reply to this and one of us will forward it to bug-lilypond for you. Cheers, Colin. -- Colin Hall _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
