The problem with arguing "by this point in the manual" is that the
manual is not always read sequentially, and people may or may not have
read the appropriate other bits recently. Another problem is that
while
it may be obvious when you read something what it does, reconstructing
the fragment is not always as obvious. :P
The only line that might need explanation is the line-width. These
commands obvious set values; setting a value to #0 is pretty obvious,
and we use ##t and ##f all over the place. As for line-width, the only
thing to explain is that the value is in staff-spaces... but we use
such values all over the manual. I've added an explanation of it in
chapter 4, and I'm looking for a good place somewhere in chapter 10...
but it doesn't make sense to sprinkle two dozen explanations about
staff-spaces throughout the manual. I'd say that three times (not
counting the tutorial and chapter 4) is the absolute maximum number of
times we should repeat info.
