Re: error in the manuals

[Mats Bengtsson]

I hope you realize that the examples in the manual have been
produced by exactly the code that you see when clicking on
the corresponding picture, so it's impossible that there's
an error (at least one that you don't also see in the example
in the manual). Are you sure that you use exactly the same
LilyPond version as the manual was written for (and produced
by)?
