It was cc’ed Simon Albrecht, who on the LilyPond User list suggested that to
post better suggestions on this list [1].
Please have a look at
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/contributor/documentation-suggestions.html>.
The current documentation would become obsolete. It would not be difficult to
add a few files common ET’s.
The first file is mentioned here [2]. The others come from [3-4], also
mentioned in that discussion.

Still, it’s up to anyone to guess this. And ‘regular.ly’ or ‘definitions.ily’
(really!) are quite commonplace filenames. I don’t know how many dozen files
called ‘definitions.ily’ might be in OpenLilyLib.
I’ll send you them in private mail
There’s no point in that. Personally, I have no interest in Arabic music.
So I’m sorry, but speaking of a ‘rant’ is somewhat of an overstatement.
In the ly-user post of mine that you quoted I spoke of a ‘concise’ request.
Perhaps you try and make one.
Just have the files and font included in the LilyPond distribution, as they
seem to work.
‘They seem to work’ is not a criterion for inclusion in LilyPond. The
question is if they meet standards of both notation and coding _and_ are
of sufficiently general interest. And most importantly they will only be
included in LilyPond if someone does the coding and documentation and
uploads a patch, following the standard procedures. If no developer is
interested in doing so, then it will not happen – that’s how LilyPond
development works.
Best, Simon
