Dear lilypond users,
My apologies in advance if the answer to this is already out there and I
just didn't find it.
I would like to be able to access the lilypond docs in emacs using the
.info files. So I downloaded the docs tarball and extracted it, and then
made an entry in the init file to
the images. I hope this helps.

The problem with that approach is that it does not adapt to LilyPond
