Re: INSTALL?

[Graham Percival]

Short answer: I split the documentation into "lilypond format" and 
"program usage" (everything else, from install to lilypond-book)

Long answer: discussion started here
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2007-07/msg00092.html


I admit that I completely forgot about the text INSTALL file.  I suggest 
that we simply make a text file that says

Please see
        info lilypond-program
or the online documentation at
        http://whatever

I've seen this method used in other projects.

Cheers,
