Uh, we do have a manual that can be edited, improved, and evolve over time with different versions of LilyPond... > Apparently it allows you to answer by email: "You can use Shapado > without leaving your favorite mail client, just subscribe to people or > tag and you will receive your question by mail so you can just answer > from there." As I already stated: I think the medium of a mailing list is fine, but an archive with "community-driven" indexing, sorting and scoring of articles and/or authors might go a long way towards making already discussed information easier to find in case it has not made it into the proper documentation for some reason. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
