You're right to raise this issue, although this has little to do with
'make loop' problem (the empty bagpipes.snippet-list used to be there
for a long time).

I updated input/lsr '*.*tely' files, makelsr.py and input/new/*.ly with
the new tags:
bagpipes -> winds (commented out, for there is currently no snippets)
guitar -> fretted-strings Fretted strings
piano -> keyboards.itely Keyboards
strings -> unfretted-strings Unfretted strings

I leave fixing @lsrdir references in the manuals up to GDP contributors.

Please DO NOT run makelsr.py until tags have been renamed in LSR
database.  I've not updated tags in LSR database because I don't know
exactly how to handle renaming: should we simply rename tags, or should
we clone tags and edit old tags such as guitar and piano so they only
include snippets specific to these particular instruments?  I vote for
the second solution, even if it requires a bit more work.  As I still
have a lot to do for translated docs with texi2html, could Valentin or
somebody who has write access to LSR database tackle this?

Speaking of LSR database, I renamed there some old camel-cased tags
(that are not included in docs today):

Preparing Parts -> Preparing parts
SchemeLanguage -> Scheme language
SymbolsAndGlyphs -> Symbols and glyphs
ConnectingNotes -> Connecting notes
AutomaticNotation -> Automatic notation
ContemporaryNotation -> Contemporary notation

Which Git version do you have?  On which OS?  What Git commands did you
use exactly?  Did you play with 'git checkout'?
