It's not as complex as guile 2.x.  If somebody has basic knowledge
of perl (which isn't hard to acquire) and texinfo (essentially
just knowing it's a doc format with @commands), and is good at
diagnosing and communicating problems, then I would cautiously
estimate 20 hours for this task.  10 hours of investigation and
rewriting by oneself, plus another 10 hours of creating minimal
examples, sending them to the texinfo list to ask for help, then
integrating the solutions into the updated thing.

This could very feasibly be done by somebody new to lilypond
development.

oh, two slight snags:
1) once it was updated to the new texinfo, our build scripts will
probably need some slight adjustment.  That is not do-able by
somebody new to lilypond, but I'd estimate 1 hour from a current
lilypond developer to get that done.

2) it is possible (or even likely) that texinfo will need to be
changed in order for us to do what we want.  I'm certain that if
somebody has a minimal example of the problem, and a compelling
justification for why we want to achieve the desired output, the
texinfo people will be happy to add whatever features or bugfixes
are required in texinfo.  But this *would* add another delay for
being able to build lilypond on a stock distribution with texinfo
5.x.
(that said, if I'm correct about requiring texinfo changes, this
will need to happen at some point so all the more reason to jump
on this now)

Re: Doc: Issue 4059: Document MIDI mapping and MIDI effects (issue 249980043 by tdanielsmu...@googlemail.com)

Keith OHara k-ohara5...@oco.net writes:

 That programmer who added the code didn't know about Lilypond's
 engraver/performer method of routing events and property-changes to
 output, and didn't know much about midi, so the data flow doesn't make
 much sense in the context of Lilypond and MIDI.

git log -S midiChannelMapping

flags the culprit as a certain Jan Nieuwenhuizen.  Our current dearth of
development power makes it inadvisable to discourage contributors
showing a certain promise.  There was obviously a perceived need for
this feature: maybe is could better be met with different semantics?  If
so, which?

 Whoa.

 That one certainly looks like it will need attention soonish.  I did not
 realize that we had what amounts to such a large modification of
 texi2html in our code base.

 Oh, there's a pretty big chunk of custom stuff in lilypond
 texi2html.  See past discussion here:
