My opinion is that a printed documentation doesn't make much sense.
I think so too. Once I had one printed out - and practically never used it.
What would be interesting, especially for commercial/funding purposes,
is a book which can offer something that the documentation doesn't
offer already.
This is very true IMO.
What is missing is a book (or rather a choice of books like there is for
programming languages) that takes the Learning Manual and continues on
that track. I find that LM very good but once you reach its end you can
get stuck with LilyPond very easily. LilyPond's documentation is
excellent, but it is mainly a reference. What I would have liked to have
is a book (printed or not) that _teaches_ how to work with LilyPond.
In a way that's also the idea behind the openLilyLib tutorials and the
tutorial category on Scores of Beauty. But of course these efforts are
the proverbial drops in the ocean. Better than nothing but far from
being anything like comprehensive.
