Yes. For instance, ranking is by proximity, and you can do stuff line
(line break)~5 to find "line" and "break" withing 5 words. Personally
I've always found direct search into the lilypond manual impossible.
Sebastino, I just did a quick check with "line break", and the
first two results were in the Program Reference. What about adding
an option (IMHO, it should be enabled by default) to restrict the
search to the user manual? Most people don't want to see stuff
like "Forbid_line_breaker" or "line-break-event". :)
Well, that's easy: "line break !reference" . I'll add a line in the
help section.
The fifth result of that search was the "all-in-one page"; you
should probably remove that from the search space. I mean, the
whole point of this searching is that you don't need to use the
"one big page"! :)
Fixed. Thanks!
