One of the aggravating things is that most of the real documentation
still comes from us (Jan & me), and that we don't have the time for
writing it.  I think the user mailing list works quite well, thanks to
people like you, Mats, Rune & Laura that answer lots of questions, but
there still is not much of organised user documentation, like a real
FAQ.

We were hoping that the introduction of the Wiki would alleviate this,
but so far, the results haven't been --well-- spectular.

I hope things will get better with the new search form (check it out
at

        http://lilypond.org/search/

).

And of course, if you didn't catch my thinly veiled cry for help, let
me try less thinly veiled :)


   Help us!

   Write documentation!
