We keep the manual divided into smaller pages (Note entry -> notes,
pitches, etc). I like Mats idea about browsing around to see what's
possible, but you can still browse through subdirectories. And we could
still have a "all on one page" page in addition to "split into sections"
pages.
Should I go ahead and divide input/test into sections?
