Re: error in manual?

[Mats Bengtsson]

The example score printed in the manual is produced by exactly the same
code (just click on the figure to see the corresponding .ly file, so the 
manual
itself proves that the example works as it stands. You must have done 
something
else wrong. Did you use LilyPond version 2.8.x? I just tried the example 
using both
versions 2.8 and 2.9 without any problems. On the other hand, you are 
right that
the # is redundant here and can be removed without changing the result.

Note also that the next stable version, 2.10, will appear very soon and 
that only
the manual for the development series 2.9.x has been updated recently. 
Therefore,
please cross-check with the latest development version manual before 
reporting
a possible bug in the documentation.
