What Carl meant (I think) is that we link the snippet directly in the
manual so it appears for instance like this:

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/short-repeats#percent-repeats

scroll down to the snippets...

Adding a snippet automatically takes the texidoc string from the
snippet as well as the LilyPond code. So having the phrase 'see LSR
715' or similar is meaningless here. We don't want an explicit
reference to another LSR snippet because a user will not know what
that means necessarily and there is no automatic linking from the
Lilypond.org doc pages to the LSR website.

Does that make more sense?
