I would add my thanks to David too. He is by far the most prolific responder to the queries of the less knowledgable and provides concise answers that provoke thought and further consideration; even if we don't always understand. Thankyou and all the other Lilypond contributors. regards Peter

Greetings Steven, The manuals are in Texinfo format, and the good news is that they are merely hidden. Going off the top of my head, I believe the files are located in the folder lilypond/usr/share/info. There, you should find just over 30 files, most with a .info extension. Move them to your

No-one answered the first time: I assume that, like me, they could not work out what you're really asking for. If it's putting note names within the dots of fret diagrams, that seems impossible: they're too small, it seems to me. Could you mock up or scan what you're actually looking for? --
