Re: Example massacre

[Mats Bengtsson]

I mentioned one in my original email. I haven't investigated deeply,
but spent a few minutes to find missing example files that are linked
from within the manual, and came up with the following list:

In input/test/:

chords-without-melody.ly
lyric-hyphen-retain.ly
lyrics-melisma-faster.ly
lyrics-melisma-variants.ly
page-breaks.ly
to-xml.ly
unfold-all-repeats.ly


In input/regression/:

volta-chord-names.ly

Maybe this proves my point that the clean up of the example files
was done a bit too quickly. I think it is necessary to go through
the full list of removed files and reevaluate if they really deserved
to be removed.
