Re: New LilyPond tutorial

Just a web page design sort of comment.  The font is quite small for
older eyes like mine (mid 50s;).  The line spacing is really tight as
well.  I can scale the font up, but the pages still don't breathe.  It
would be a lot more approachable if you didn't try to make everything
fit in such a tight space.

A tutorial is no different than music in that.  More whitespace makes it
easier to absorb things at a glance.

It looks like you're going for a default width of about 800 pixels (840
with the 20 pixel margins on the sides).  That's about as tight as you
can get it with the png sizes for the music.  Since your page won't work
well with hand-held devices anyway, why do you make your width so
narrow?   Laptops and tablets all work with a lot more width.  The IPad
for example is 1024x768.   It just makes you waste all that space on the
sides to go with that 800 pixel width.  You could go with a wider width,
bigger font, bigger line spacing and ahhhh, things would breathe.

The tutorial itself is marvelous.
