IMO, such a page is best reserved until people have a little bit
of experience with lilypond.  As such, I'm looking at LM 1.x
(where x>1) or possibly in the AU, having been mentioned and
linked previously.

I could be convinced that it should be added to Introduction, but
it would take a moderate amount of work.  Until people have tried
typesetting a few examples, would they really see the benefit of
point-and-click, autocompletion, or pop-up help?

Conversely, do we want people referring back to the Introduction
pages after they've decided they want to use lilypond?  The
current idea is that potential users read the Introduction, decide
to use it, download it, then read Manuals and Community.


Granted, several places in the LM and AU link back to the website,
so there's no great harm in putting it in Introduction rather than
one of the manuals.

Cheers,
