Ah, that sounds more like it.  To be fair, the web site
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/web/notation> advertises it
to be 35MB in size.

But it clocks in at actual 6.6MB.  I think the download text would
warrant correction.  I just naively assumed it to be automatically
generated in correspondence with reality.
