Project of the Week!

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

[I'm posting this to lilypond-user as well -- I've noticed that more
people subscribe to lilypond-user than to info-lilypond]


Hi there,

I'm Han-Wen, your friendly project leader. I'm posting this request
for help, in the hope that one of you wants to take on this
mini-project and complete it.


TYPE OF WORK

Documentation


AMOUNT OF WORK

Small


KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED

Basic usage of LilyPond.


SKILLS REQUIRED

English writing, documentation skills. 


SUMMARY

Fill in doc strings for music expressions.


DESCRIPTION

In the generated documentation of 1.7, we now also include Music
expressions:

  
http://lilypond.org/development/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/Music-expressions.html#Music%20expressions

The contents of these pages are generated from the file

  scm/music-types.scm 

Every music object also has a description field. This description
field should explain the meaning of the music expression, the syntax
and common use. A very short example is in

  
http://lilypond.org/development/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/PhrasingSlurEvent.html#PhrasingSlurEvent

which says

  PhrasingSlurEvent

  Start or end phrasing slur. Syntax NOTE \( and \) NOTE 

Only a few music expressions documented, very tersely.  It would be
nice if someone went through music-types.scm, and filled in all the

        (description . "")

entries.
