Actually, that's not how it is supposed to happen in texinfo...

Finally a problem that is really caused by us and not by a bug in texinfo! 
For cross-reference to other manuals, one should always use the five-parameter 
form of xref, since texinfo doesn't look at the other pdf file to extract 
page numbers etc (page numbers should only be printed for references within 
the same doc). The fifth argument is the name of the other manual. E.g. ruser 
should actually be:

@macro ruser{TEXT}
@vindex \TEXT\
@ref{\TEXT\,,,lilypond,Notation Reference}
@end macro

Then in PDF a @ruser{Nodename} will print "section Nodename in Notation 
Reference" and not try to create a link with page names... The HTML output 
will stay the same (ie. only the node name).

Cheers,
Reinhold
