What Carl meant (I think) is that we link the snippet directly in the manual so it appears for instance like this: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/short-repeats#percent-repeats scroll down to the snippets... Adding a snippet automatically takes the texidoc string from the snippet as well as the LilyPond code. So having the phrase 'see LSR 715' or similar is meaningless here. We don't want an explicit reference to another LSR snippet because a user will not know what that means necessarily and there is no automatic linking from the Lilypond.org doc pages to the LSR website. Does that make more sense? -- -- James _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
