Interesting.  Nobody who touched that part of the docs, including
me, has ever installed lilypond via a package manager.  Hopefully
Trevor can modify the section accordingly.

We could add this to pitches.itely and world.itely (appropriately
split up).  Trevor can help you get the documentation source,
proofread your texinfo changes, and prepare a patch.

Trevor: the actual table goes in pitches.itely (obviously), while
we should add a NR 2.9.2 Makam or Turkish or something.  I guess
that section will only contain a "References for..." subsection,
but that's fine.
