Subject: Additional Features manual
Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2013 17:15:10 +0000

Hi Richard

I attach an updated, expanded and restructured Additional Features
manual. Unfortunately, before I was half way through the changes, TeX
told me that I had reached its limits. So I had to turn Track changes
off in order to continue.

A couple of points need attention:

I have added a short Lilypond example as a note in section 4.10 because
my LaTeX skills proved insufficient to write the appropriate if ...
else ... fi constuction to allow this to be included. Perhaps someone
else can.

I wasn't able to view section 5.3 Multiple Columns because the Multiple
Columns module didn't work in 2.0.5. So this just needs to be checked to
ensure that I haven't introduced any undesired effects into it.

In undertaking the restructuring, I started from the philosophy set out
in Chapter 1 and restructured the manual around the order of topics in
the User's Guide. I have also copied some parts of the User's Guide
directly into the manual on the assumption that, if these changes are
acceptable, those parts of the User's Guide can be deleted and replaced
by a reference to the Additional Features manual.

To summarise for the benefit of the Translators:

Chapters 1 and 2 are substantially the same, with only minor changes.

Chapter 3 is half new and half an update of Chapter 6 in the current
manual.

Chapter 4 is all new.

Chapter 5 is an updated Section 3.4 from the current manual and Uwe's
rewrite of Section 8.1 of the current manual.

Chapter 6 is an updated Section 3.5 from the current manual and the
parts of Chapter 3 of the User's Guide which relate to customizing
lists. (So everything to do with customizing lists is in one place.)

Chpater 7 is almost all new but incorporates a small part of Section 6.5
from the User's Guide.

Chapter 8 is an updated Section 3.2 from the current manual.

Chapter 9 is Chapter 7 from the current manual with minor changes.

Chapter 10 is Section 3.3 from the current manual.

Chapter 11 is Chapter 4 from the current manual.

Chapter 12 is Chapter 5 from the current manual.
