Usually I avoid "+1" comments, but here, I really have to echo what Steve said.
Especially in the FLOSS world, documentation is an afterthought at best, but
Lilypond's documentation beats that of many commercial packages. (I could cite
a remarkable blooper from Max/MSP's buffer~ help, where the description of the
"read" message leads you to expect a different argument order from the real
one.)
Nice work, all!
