Re: New manual chapter: Putting it all together

[Erik Sandberg]

Another good thing, could be to just let a relatively experienced lily user 
typeset a piece in practise, and write a pretty detailed document (or log) 
about how he/she does this. This could be useful as a suggestion of how the 
entire typesetting procedure can look like. It could also be a way of showing 
potential users what lily really is about.

(I'm not sure this should be a part of the official documentation though)
