Fair enough.  Sorry to be cranky, I had a bad experience with the lilypond
docs on emacs mode, and then Tim sent me to Frescobaldi, which I considered
[perhaps entirely incorrectly] "somewhat associated" [because it is built
on top of lilypond] and had an even worse experience there, with the
suggested instructions leading me to several hours of dependency hell.  I
was too quick to link these experiences.  My apologies.
