I am not sure what the issue is, but let me say that I have used the lilypond manual quite extensively both the tutorial and the index to look for things.
It provides a good first approach, but it creates a bit of frustation when you start to discover that they are many things / options that are not explained. Specially all this question of \properties ..... of grobs. All that end up being pretty messy for a regular computer user who is not an expert programmer any more. In fact, I have wondered if there was a more advanced version of the user manual available that would cover those things not explained. I have found that more and more I have to go to the web page for online information which uncovenient when I am home and do not have an open Internet connection all the time, or when one prefers to work still with a printer reference document. I undertand that the effort to re-vamp the manual could be extensive for people working for free, maybe an idea would be ask for support to the group somehow.
