At the moment, James is our only "full-time" documentation writer,
and he's just getting ready to do some major editorial work.

Could you write about this?  You obviously know more about these
commands than me (and James, by the way).  If you can write
something vaguely understandable in English -- and the most
important piece of almost all documentation is creating a good .ly
example, and language shouldn't be a problem there -- then I can
edit your doc patch for any minor English issues.

Make a list of the things that need to be done (the above
paragraph is probably sufficient), and then start working on the
item(s) that you know how to do.  Ignore ly:stencil-scale for now,
and just work on adding \scale to text.itely.  Once _that_ patch
has been edited, reviewed, and push, then we'll tackle the other
stuff.
