Oh greater joy, issue 855 seems to have fizzled out as wibble, worse
it seems to be a continuation from issue 788.

Looks like a case for a GOP topic - do we already have one on the
queue, Graham?

If not, here's one to kick things off:

Proposal

The current set of indices in the NR of the format \<command> should
be replaced with a single entry stating "for LilyPond commands, please
see the entry below under the entry for the command without the '\'
character, e.g. for '\score' see the index entry 'score'."

Each command will then appear under an entry without the \ in the main
command index.

Related Issues/Proposals

Discussion on current structure of indices LilyPond Command Index vs
LilyPond Index - restructure to LilyPond Commands - LilyPond Variables
- - LilyPond Concepts?


Implementation

<tbs> by a grown-up who understands how the docs are compiled.


Cheers,

Ian
