scripts/build/create-weblinks-itexi.py contains some suspicious lines:
                                                                                
                                        

# these links are relative from /website/ on lilypond.org
depth = "../"


Then inside translateNameToUrl() depth is used like:


    url = depth + "doc/v" + ver_minor + "/Documentation/"


and this function is used in make_manual_links() to create the various
texinfo link macros.

So defining depth to be "" should remove the dots. I don't know whether
this breaks anything.
