Once I started with lilypond, I read in LM, later I usually search (digital
search in the file on the screen, not in printed versions) only in NR. When
there are informations given only in the LM, of course I don't find them
searching the NR. Maybe both should be in one file (is/was there a discussion
about)? (Maybe I will put them together for myself with pdfjoin, but then
ctrl+home brings me up only to one toc ...)
