Is that really the "right" method?  I thought that \\ *was* the
right method... in fact, isn't \\ exactly the same as what you
propose?

We (and by "we", I mean "I") officially have No Mercy (tm) on
anybody who emails the -user list without reading LM 3.  I'm open
to adding a short reminder or warning to NR 1.5 if there's
anything that people often mess up (just like the warning about
key signatures and accidentals in NR 1), but in general we assume
that readers are familiar with the concepts in LM 3.

A few links in the @seealso sections might be appropriate -- I
haven't looked to see how many are there, though.  If you think
this would help, please suggest specific things to link to, from
specific subsections.

Cheers,
