As a string player, I've never used that stuff, so IMO they make sense to be in chapter 2. Whatever we end up calling that chapter.

GDP: documentation guidelines
I've updated the README.txt with more guidelines about writing/maintaining documentation. I'll be asking the GDP Helpers to fix any Section organiztion and Formatting issues, as well as any Readability or Technical writing issues they feel comfortable updating. If I've forgotten anything from this list, please speak up so we can add them now. Info for Documentation -- % UPDATING DOCS convert-ly -e --from=... --to=... --no-version *.itely % to find the current version number, grep "version \"" tutorial.itely % (nobody ever remembers to update this file, so I've stopped % trying to record it here) % BOOKS There are three parts to the documentation: the Learning Manual, the Notation Reference, and the Technical Details. * Learning Manual: long, chatty, friendly explanations go here. This is aimed at users learning something for the first time -- not necessarily just learning lilypond notation, but also things like learning how to deal with projects, tweaking, preparing parts for orchestras, etc. Less formal language may be used here. Users are encouraged to read the complete Learning Manual from start-to-finish. * Notation Reference: a (hopefully complete) description of LilyPond input notation. Some material from here may be duplicated in the Learning Manual (for teaching). The material is presented in an approximate order of increasing difficulty, but the goal is _not_ to provide a step-by-step learning environment. For example, all material under "Pitches" should remain in that section, even though microtonal accidentals may seem more advanced than info about clefs or time signatures -- "Pitches" should be a one-stop reference about the pitch portion of notes. This section is written in formal technical writing style. Users are not expected to read this manual from start to finish. However, they should be familiar with the material in the Learning Manual (particularly ``Fundamental Concepts''), so do not repeat that material in this book. * Program Usage: information about using the program lilypond with other programs (lilypond-book, operating systems, GUIs, convert-ly, etc). This section is written in formal technical writing style. Users are not expected to read this manual from start to finish. % SECTION ORGANIZATION The order of headings inside documentation sections should be: main docs @refcommands @commonprop @seealso @refbugs (omit any headings which do not apply) Including at least one link to @lsrdir{} inside @seealso is highly recommended. % FORMATTING * Use two spaces for indentation in lilypond examples. * Do not use tabs. They expand to nothing in DVI output. * Do not use spaces at the beginning of a line (except in @example or @verbatim environments), and do not use more than a single space between words. `makeinfo' copies the input lines verbatim without removing those spaces. * Use two spaces after a period. * Don't use a @ref{link to another section} in the middle of a sentence. It looks ok in HTML, moderately bad in PDF, and utterly horrible in INFO. Instead, reword the sentence so that users are encouraged to see @ref{link to another section}. (at the end of the sentence) * Variables or numbers which consist of a single character (probably followed by a punctuation mark) should be tied properly, either to the previous or the next word. Example: The [EMAIL PROTECTED]@var{a} ... * To get consistent indentation in the DVI output it is better to avoid the @verbatim environment. Use the @example environment instead if possible, but without extraneous indentation. For example, this @example foo { bar } @end example should be replaced with @example foo { bar } @end example where [EMAIL PROTECTED]' starts the line (without leading spaces). * Use the `quote' option in @lilypond commands if possible. Do not compress the input vertically; this is, do not use Beginning of logical unit @example ... @end example continuation of logical unit but Beginning of logical unit @example ... @end example @noindent continuation of logical unit This makes it easier to avoid forgetting the [EMAIL PROTECTED]'. * Non-ASCII characters which are in utf-8 should be directly used; this is, don't say [EMAIL PROTECTED]' but `Baßtuba'. This ensures that all such characters appear in all output formats. * Lines should be less than 72 characters long. (I personally recommend writing with 66-char lines, but don't bother modifying existing material.) * Use @q instead of `...' and @qq instead of ``...''. The latter macro should be used with care since we use `...' as the default quoting throughout the manual, except for things related to direct speech. Warning: @q{} and @qq{} *MUST NOT* come at the end or beginning of a line (unless it begins the paragraph). If these
GDP: "Predefined commands" vs. "commonly teaked properties"
Should we keep @refcommands independent from @commonprop ? For example, look at Tuplets.

Nobody else? ok, I'll divide up that chapter and stuff it all into > the monster Musical notation. The notation / instrument-specific division is fine, imo. But it does seem odd to have "Chord names" as part of the instrument-specific stuff. Are chord names instrument specific? If you think of chords names as primarily useful in theory class, then "Educational use" might make sense; on the other hand, if you think of chord names for lead sheets, then maybe they should just become their own chapter in the notation section. Either way, maybe move "Chord names" to the notation section. Also, I agree with an earlier comment (somehow lost it in the thread) that both Strings and Bagpipe should promote to full sections in the instrument-specific part. It's OK that they be small; they can just function as placeholders until more such content shows up later. That will get rid of the "other instrument stuff" junk drawer. > - Assuming that the technical issues are solved, how do you want these > merged subsections to look? Specifically, consider 1.2.3.

Reading 1.2.3 is choppy. And the bold subsection titles hurt rather than help. Here's an extraction of the 1.2.3 subsection titles right now: 1.2.3 Displaying rhythms Time signature Commonly tweaked properties See also Bugs Upbeats Bugs Unmetered music Bugs Polymetric notation Bugs Automatic note splitting Bugs See also Doesn't flow. And makes us look like we have an undue preoccupation with bugs. A better structure would be: 1.2.3 Displaying rhythms Time signature Upbeats Unmetered music Polymetric notation Automatic note splitting See also We don't need but bug subsections printed as separate subsections with separate headers. Just format the content of the @refbugs as regular old paragraphs with no special headers. The chunking will then look like the revised ex above (focusing on the musical ideas), and we won't appear to be so wrapped around the axle about bugs.

Yeah, I may be spreading unsubstantiated rumours here, but the term seems definitely to have shown up first in English (rather than FR or DE) and I *think* it actually originated in an early version of the Finale user manual (God help us). I've never been able to verify this last bit, but, if true, it would at least explain why the word doesn't seem to exist in any EN dictionaries yet. Henning, is das (?) Tupel the same word that gets used in math to talk about ordered collections of stuff like (17, 18, 29)? EN has "tuple" for such things ... and "tuplet" (with the final t) seems to be a completely novel musical term backformed from triplet, quadruplet, quintuplet, [s|h]extuplet, etc. Maybe DE has to make due with only one form of the word? Or possibly you guys could borrow in "Tuplet"?
