I'm having second thoughts about using @samp{} for small input. For
example, consider "absolute octave entry" (in 1.1.1)
http://opihi.cs.uvic.ca/~gperciva/lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond/Absolute-octave-entry.html
The problem is that we use ' as part of the lilypond language. IMO, we
shouldn't use @samp{} for the "lowercase letters a through g", since
that might confuse people with octave marks.
Lower on the page, we discuss using single quote (`'') or comma (`,')
characters. I think that we wouldn't lose any clarity -- and possibly
add some -- if we simply write
"single quote (') or comma (,)"
(ie if we use @code{} for all input, regardless of short lengths)
As an added bonus, this clarifies the instructions for doc writers: put
all lilypond input in @code{}.
Cheers,
- Graham
