Another bad example is

  • Set translator property ottavationMarkups to:

    '((4 . "29")
      (3 . "22")
      (2 . "15")
      (1 . "8")
      (-1 . "8")
      (-2 . "15")
      (-3 . "22")
      (-4 . "29"))

in the documentation, while the code in `ly/engraver-init.ly` is
simply

  ottavationMarkups = #ottavation-numbers

It seems to me that during the creation of the documentation,
expansion of the property value should be prevented.

Can this be done?
