Hi Graham and everyone, Thanks. When I get the chance, I'll spend some time getting familiar with your documentation process and texinfo which I haven't used before. I'll let you know if I have any questions.
There has been some really good feedback. Thanks for everyone. It seems that I've got it wrong that LilyPond does not support Arabic Lyrics. I might drop out that section for now as it is not crucial. As I say in the document, using Arabic Lyrics is problematic even when it is possible to write them. Alternatively, I might update the section if I can get it working. Currently I don't have Arabic fonts on my computer. I also would like to test the bug with midi. Again, I don't think it is crucial to the topic of Arabic music, but I may need to document it, or find a way how to get around it. Regarding Hans' comment, the document explains how Arabic music is traditionally notated which uses a 24 note system, although that might not completely reflect how the music is played, so the issue of alternative tone systems is a separate issue.
