Comment #2 on issue 1245 by percival.music.ca: festival song output is  
uncompletely undocumented
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1245

I noticed that page, but a quick scan doesn't tell me what to do with  
the .xml file.  I mean, I tried
  festival song-basic.xml
but got some error or other.  Maybe it's as simple as adding an -i  
filename.xml option; maybe I needed to install some other package... point  
is, I don't know, and nothing in the lilypond docs tell me how to do it, or  
even give me a link to that site.

That page -- assuming it's up-to-date; it mentions CVS, which seems a bit  
odd for a modern project -- will certainly help somebody write  
documentation for this in the lilypond manual(s).


This isn't a high-priority item, and in some ways I hope that experienced  
doc writers don't work on it -- this would make an ideal "training" item  
for anybody wanting to learn how to work on docs.  That said, I'm actually  
personally interested in singing voice synthesis driven by lilypond, so I  
certainly wouldn't turn away any patches for this!  :)
