I think the info should be in both places.  Document \tieUp in Ties,
but also include the whole document as an appendix or "cheat sheet".
That way people reading the manual get the info, but if you already
know how the commands work and just can't remember the names (or
something like that), you can quickly look at all the commands.

Thanks; that would be nice.  I've got a contract to catalogue a small
music library (1400 pieces of music), so after I start that I won't
have much time for Lilypond for two or three weeks.
