Re: Issue 202 in project lilypond

[Graham Percival]

Sorry, could you follow the instructions at
http://lilypond.org/web/devel/participating/documentation-adding

I do most documentation updates while attending lectures, so please 
specify exactly what to add where -- imagine yourself listening to a 
lecture about doing an inverse fourier transform of a square wave, and 
adding material to the documentation in the pauses when the professor is 
repeating the same material again (for clarity, assuming you understood 
him the first time).

Cheers,
- Graham
