I must note however that I strongly disagree with the approach "you
must read the manual first". Honestly, when you buy an house-hold
appliance you first read the manual? I doubt. For making the first cup
of coffee you won't read the manual. Later, when you want to make
different kinds of exotic coffees you will. Though this is a bit
off-topic.
I agree only because it gives the appearance of a hostile atmosphere on
the lilypond user's list which I know is not the truth. A one line RTFM
answer is not good communication. If instead you said, "well you could
blah blah blah, and if you want more information, <HERE>'s where you
would look in the documentation, people would be more happily motivated.
I also agree about the acronyms. I still, because of the way my memory
works, have to go to the documenation page and compare the names to the
acronyms to figure out where to look.
