Go nuts.  :)   My only concern is the vertical space of the printed 
music on the page.  For the lilypond input, do whatever you want.  
Overrides, scheme, Turing machine simulation, whatever.

A "headword" for each *section*, not subsection.  There's X lines of 
fancy example for 8.1.  Nothing for 8.1.1, 8.1.2, 8.1.3, etc.  Just to 
make sure we're on the same page, open up 8.1 Text.  I want this to look 
like this:
-------------------------------------

8.1 Text
This section explains how to include text (with various formatting) in 
your scores.
To write accented and special text (such as characters from other 
languages), simply insert the characters directly into the lilypond 
file. The file must be saved as UTF-8. For more information, see Text 
encoding <cid:part1.05030806.05010401@gmail.com>.

I'd like to see at least "* Text scripts" when I look at this page in 
the docs; that's the reason for the vertical constraint.


As an aside, does anybody know how to tell thunderbird not to do any 
bloody HTML stuff?  I don't want to read it, and I _certainly_ don't 
want to send it.  My apologies if this message turns up in html; I did a 
cut&paste from the manual, and it seems to have come with some 
formatting.  :(

Pick whatever you want.  :)    Just do one for now; let's see how it feels.
