The name is OK -- there is no better name.  Other info files like that
for dvips have the same problem.  I suggest to add a new command to
texinfo which maps certain command line arguments to certain nodes,
e.g.

  @commandlineargtonode lilypond,top

or

  @commandlineargtonode dvips,top

An alternative is to say `info -f lilypond', but this is non-intuitive
IMHO.

No, it isn't (CVS 2004-03-19 09:10 MET).
