Greetings, Hmmm. Dense? I hardly doubt it! Perhaps you might try this: Reinstall lilypond with the .sh script but also call for documentation, something like this:
sudo sh LILYPONDFILENAME.sh --prefix=PATH --documentation >From my experience, this will take substantially longer to download, but you wil then have the complete documentation locally - at least in html format. But it may be that this direction also grabs the texinfo files and places them in the aforementioned lilypond/usr/share/info directory? Having always downloaded and installed lilypond this way, I have never noticed whether the --documentation flag was neded to obtain the .info files. I do hope this works.
