Now that Ly 2.18.0 is out, those of us who use Frescobaldi need to
update the manuals it refers to in its Documentation Browser tab.
Nowhere can I find instructions for how to do that. In the Preferences
modal window it is possible to indicate a path to "the documentation",
but that documentation comes in multiple forms, so I'm at a fork in the
road with no map. What does Frescobaldi need?
I'll probably be able to figure it out, but I've been messing with
Lilypond for years. Newbies (and often me, too!) need explicit instructions.
Secondly, the menu item Help > About Frescobaldi > Version function
display a very nice summary of the versions of various program
components/dependencies...with one glaring exception: the Lilypond
version it will use on the next compile. It wasn't until I started
reading through the Preferences window that I could see that after
updating Lilypond to 2.18.0 Frescobaldi automatically knew about the
update. Maybe this obscurity could be made less obscure.
Beyond that: I've become a Frescobaldi addict. What a lovely piece of
genuinely useful software. We are so fortunate to have this fine
resource, on top of the marvelous Ly! Profound thanks to all involved....
