(I don't have any brilliant ideas, > either.) How about info libc printf vs info bash printf ? Info supports this even now. To me, this is more intuitive and has more probability of hitting the right topic than the man-style section number. I can never remember whether a specific function is in section 2 or section 3, or which section describes special files like etc/fstab. ___ Lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

It is IMHO much better to modify the @direntry line so that the resultant DIR menu item says * Using lilypond: (lilypond/lilypond)Invoking LilyPond. Titling LilyPond scores. or some such. In general, it's a bad idea to have Usage style nodes referenced by menu items that are labeled with the program's name. ___ Lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

Anyway, in general, I'd advise against removing code we don't understand, it has bitten us in the past... ___ Lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
