Thanks for this - while playing around with it I noticed the mysterious
synatx q that appears. I tried looking this up in the two indices
without success. It causes a syntax error after a note but repeats a
chord when placed after a chord. I wonder what exactly it is all about
and why I can't find it documented...

there's a few things which are only documented in the learning manual. :)
Actually I would change that last sentence to read:
There's a few things which are not documented in the Learning Manual.
And this is a deliberate decision. If not, it's still a good decision.
I don't see q as being needed in the Learning Manual as a good thing;
apart from all the discussion how 'q' is a rather arbitrary 'command' -
why 'q'? what does 'q' stand for etc., not knowing q doesn't lose you
any functionality (i.e. there is nothing that q does that you cannot
already do with the 'correct' syntax) but there are limitations using q
- which are/should be documented in the Notation Reference.
As to the quote:
there's a few things which are only documented in the learning manual. :)
That implies that we're missing things in the NR that shoudl be in
there. If so then let the list know (lilypond-...@gnu.org) and that can
be fixed.
Thanks
