I think the biggest thing they could do to improve the documentation is to bring back (either in print or as a PDF file) the old Encyclopedia volume of the 3-volume documentation they had back with version 3. That allowed a user to look things up by musical usage and it explained how to do things. It was arranged alphabetically, not in groups of similar items. Imagine if they added such a "chapter" to the current (or a rewritten!) OLD, with links to other chapters/pages for more complete instructions)!!!!
It shouldn't be too hard to do, since they already have the current OLD to link to, and they also have the old Encyclopedia volume to begin with for bringing up to date.
