One problem is that the traffic here is so heavy, that it is hard to  
read it all.

And I went to that link, but when I click on it, it says:
  LilyPond documentation  Version 2.11.32
Nothing really that giving any hint of any GDP.

Now that you say it, perhaps one might guess that this LilyPond  
documentation Version 2.11.32 is not really that, but GDP. Right?

The setup is perhaps great for the dedicated user, but a steep  
learning curve. And it is hard to find the information. A little like  
UNIX. The method I have found best, is to have it all in a single  
PDF, and in Preview (a Mac OS X PDF reader) search for certain  
keywords. The problem is really to get quickly find the information  
needed.
