To add to this: if you've modified the docs and they now require
multiple runs, then you broke something.

If this is your first time building the docs, then you're probably
missing some requiement... hmm, maybe the utf-8 fonts?  I always
need to fumble around to find the right packages to install in
Linux; I end up looking at the package suggestions in
input/regression/utf-8.ly

Every time, I make a mental note to update the INSTALL file to
match whatever was in utf-8.ly, but I always forget before I
actually do it.
