Thanks. Note that I spent this morning with adjusting the LilyPond
manuals; I expect the code will be in the repository within a few
days.
What about the following route:
(1) Introduce something like my suggested `@set txiindexinpara`.
(2) In version 7.1, make `@set txiindexinpara off` the default.
(3) In version 7.1, announce that you are going to change the
behaviour of `@XXindex` in 7.2.
(4) In version 7.2, make `@set txiindexinpara on` the default.
If you do something like this it would make sense to add a new
indexing command for inter-paragraph indexing in analogy to `@anchor`,
as you suggested.
