Usage 1.2, Environment variables: missing conjunction?

2011-03-18 Thread Federico Bruni 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage#environment-variables
 

Maybe in **this sentence** something is missing?

LILYPOND_GC_YIELD

With this variable the memory footprint and performance can be
adjusted. **It is a percentage tunes memory management behavior**. With
higher values, the program uses more memory, with smaller values, it
uses more CPU time. The default value is 70.


I mean: 'tunes' should be a verb, right?
The percentage tunes memory management..., if I've understood
correctly.

So it could be: It is a percentage *that* tunes memory management
behaviour.
I don't know if this is good english, but I can understand it better.

What you're proposing is good English, and makes sense where the original 
did not.
