I disagree with "you shouldn't try to make it easy".
what I meant was "you shouldn't try to make it easy to get around
fiddling with the program without reading the docs", i.e. you shouldn't
try to encourage not reading the docs
Ok, I see what you mean. However I think a "carrot" is far better than a
"stick". Give the new user plenty to play with straight off. A read-me file
with usage instructions, a mini tutorial and well chosen examples beyond
just \relative c' { c d e f g a b c } will quickly wet their appetite.
They'll soon be seeking out the docs with enthusiasm, and not begrudgingly.
Phil.
