Re: Rehearsal marks

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please note that version 2.5.0 is more close to version 2.4.4 than to
the latest development version 2.5.11, especially when it comes to
documentation. As has already been pointed out on this mailing list,
version 2.4.4 is actually more recent than 2.5.0 and is to be prefered
for any serious use of the program.

The functions you found in the documentation of version 2.5.11 were
introduced very recently, the corresponding section of the manual for
version 2.4.4 shows a method that should work for you.
