Hello everybody,

I may be out-topic, but I would like to talk about how useful Wiki
applications might be to Lily...

For instance, Christophe Dang Ngoc Chan has started writing a quite good
Wikibook, based on the official tutorial.

http://fr.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introduction_%C3%A0_LilyPond

Currently it is only in French, but as he told me, he would be ready to
start another one in English. I find it would be a very good idea to open
some Wiki-based Lilypond tutorial, or unofficial Documentation. This would
make corrections much easier and simpler, and moreover this could help
promoting Lilypond, since the Wikibooks-Wikipedia community is huge and very
active.

And if you like the Wiki idea, I'd like to add that there may be several
opportunities to combine Wiki and Lilypond typesetting ; for instance one
could imagine some extension like LaTex-oriented Wikipublisher (
http://www.wikipublisher.org/wiki/ ), but especially designed for
Lilypond...

Just my 2 cents.

Thank you all. I love this list :)

I'm not opposed to this; I've gone back and forth on the issue myself.
To be honest, biggest reason that I haven't changed it already is that
{c d e f g...}
are in the bass clef range, so we either introduce \clef bass at the
very beginning, or have huge ledger lines in the treble clef.

I've added this to my list of easy jobs for people interested in
helping.  (I'll probably post it tomorrow)

Cheers,
- Graham
