Re: lilypond tool and MidiInput

[Graham Percival]

Thanks, modified and pushed.

For the record, I wasn't expecting (or fishing for) an actual patch;
the page I was trying to point people at was:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/documentation-suggestions

(in particular, the "small additions" section)

Cheers,
- Graham
