Yeah, so, this is intensely frustrating for anybody who tries to google for help with lilypond, because there are several dozen archives of the lilypond mailing list, each slightly different, so that if you do virtually any google search for help with lilypond, it returns a page with about a dozen identical copies of the same wrong answer, a couple of random document pages for different versions of the document that don't tell you what you need to know, and nothing whatsoever useful.


That's the internet for you.

Definitive answers are frequently found by learning to use the manuals and their indices.
