Well, the fact is that most users don't seem interested in
helping with the docs, even to the extent of reading them. :|
I had my first contact with Lilypond over two years ago (2.6.5 on win98).
I was extremely confused before I could get it to compile something,
even though I wasn't expecting a GUI application.
In my initial enthusiasm I wrote up a short account of my newbie
experience, thinking this might be useful to the experts,
especially those writing the docs.
But on rereading it, I realized it wasn't very helpful.
It jumped around, touching on all sorts of irrelevancies,
i.e. it was just as confused as I was.
And then it just might have been construed as a rant.
So I sat on it.
And soon it referred to an obsolete version and an unsupported OS.
This still applies in a sense:
I can offer maybe 10% essence and 90% personal confusion,
i.e. not only is the user low-powered but timely feedback would be too.
I will preface any such offerings with "SLopUF"
to warn off those readers not interested in
baroque instantiations of trivial use cases.
Cheers,
Robin
