But it's not *other* notation -- the general file structure, input
files, and controlling output is info that affects everything.
I'll grant that titles and MIDI could fit into an "other" section.

If we hadn't used "fundamental" already, I might suggest that.
"Basic notation" implies easy stuff, not to mention the fact that
it was used as such in the 2.10 docs.

That's life doing docs.  :(   And I'll give you 2:1 odds that within
the next year, somebody will post a long insulting message to
-user about why the decisions we've made in GDP are so bad, and
how we should have done this or that instead.
