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.
