Comment #4 on issue 4059 by [email protected]: Documentation for issues 3601
(based on 3581), 4042 (NR: "MIDI output", Section 3.5)
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4059
If midiChannelMapping is incompatible with other features, then
saying "let's just not document it so that some users may continue using
it" is not a reasonable option. For one thing, it establishes a secret
class of preexisting users who are given access to a feature others
aren't. For another, it does not tell anybody the story of what they can
use when, and when it will fail.
If those features are fundamentally incompatible, then one needs to find a
scheme or logic how their use could be reconciled in a manner that makes
enough sense to be documented and explained, and then work on implementing
this.
In the mean time, the incompatible features still need to be documented on
their own including the incompatibility so that users at least can make a
qualified choice.
