Just in case there are some here who are not aware of this, I'll
point out that it is possible to restrict Google search results
to a specific site, so you can use Google to search the LilyPond
archive at the archive site that you like best:

tablature site:.nabble.com

Or whatever site you like.

I would think that puts the "too many archive sites" problem to bed.

I'm not trying to take a side in the debate, just offering a tip
to those who are trying diligently to search the LilyPond
archives, and being dismayed that there are so many duplicate
copies of the archive to wade through.

Use the Google search tip above to search only the archive you
want results from.
