Now that Ly 2.18.0 is out, those of us who use Frescobaldi need to update the manuals it refers to in its Documentation Browser tab.

Nowhere can I find instructions for how to do that. In the Preferences modal window it is possible to indicate a path to "the documentation", but that documentation comes in multiple forms, so I'm at a fork in the road with no map. What does Frescobaldi need?

Frescobaldi needs just a new location for the 2.18  doc.

The quickest way is using the new online url:

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18

You may need updating the documentation browser with Ctrl+R.

If you want to use the offline documentation, type this command (suggested in the download page):

sh lilypond-2.18.0-OS-TYPE.sh --help

and you'll see an option to download the documentation.

That option doesn't work unless the doc tarball is already downloaded and in the same folder as the install sh. Otherwise it tries to append some of the local path to the doc tarball download link and the download fails:

address@hidden ~ $ sudo sh ~/Downloads/lilypond/lilypond-2.18.0-1.linux-64.sh --doc

For a list of options, abort (^C) then do:
