Very true. I remember that it took me a while to figure out. Maybe the exact comments above could add to the docs as a small section called "LilyPond File Organization"? I was just looking through the manual to see where that section might fit. A new section 5.8 or 10.8 might work ... but I'm not sure ... maybe a new appendix is better? (The only comparison point I have handy are the Mathematica docs, which include a "Mathematica File Organization" section as appendix A.8 out of A.13.) Eventually something similar in structure to the ROADMAP textfile in the sourceball -- but targetted like the user manual (ie, at regular users rather than develoeprs) -- would probably be nice, since knowing how to look through the installation resources is, as Carrick was finding out, still very useful indeed :-) -- Trevor Bača [EMAIL PROTECTED]
