Hello Mats,
Thank you for posting your link and also for writing out your "What You
Need to Know About Property Settings" document. After reading the
manual, I was still a little unclear of how it all fit together. Your
document concisely summarized what I needed to know. Now I have a much
better idea of how to go about making tweaks and I also have a better
(although still at a novice level) insight into how lilypond works. I'd
definitely vote to have your document either included in the manual or
perhaps have a pointer from the manual to it.
A comment about the documentation - it's really quite complete, just
quite a bit to swallow when you are initially getting up to speed on how
to use lily. However, the more I learn about lily, the more I
appreciate how complete and well written it is.
