Thanks. This helps. 

However, this entry currently includes the title prefix "GNU LilyPond - ", 
which I consider out of place here: 
- it dilutes the contrast between the different document titles 
- it increases the effort needed to check the title 
    (a glance is insufficient; you have to read and parse)
- in narrow windows the title is more likely to be split onto two lines 
- it blurs the hierachical succession of section < document < documentation. 

Without the prefix the title is then just e.g. "Learning Manual", which 
corresponds to what you see in the documentation overview.

Maybe you consider this superfluous, but by "breadcrumb" I was also 
implying that it should be emphasised in the same way as the other 
breadcrumbs, i.e. you see *all* levels of the vertical path. 

This is because I regard B as just another entry in the TOC. 
The TOC does not need a title. 


And in the meantime the latest styling more or less hides this new feature ...
