Re: Joram Berger's 'Visual LilyPond Index' revisited

[Joram Noeck]

Big thanks to Werner Lemberg for thoroughly updating (rewriting) the
visual index which I once put here¹ as an easy way to access the
LilyPond documentation. With some delay, I now merged this pull
request², you can look at the latest PDF here³. So it is no »Christmas
present« any longer, but for the record:

You can use all code from https://github.com/joram-berger/visualindex
and in particular the visualindex*.ly files under the terms of the GNU
Free Documentation License (GFDL). That way it can be integrated into
the LilyPond documenation. I also made that clear in the readme.

By the way, back then, I tried to do the same with the SVG backend to
produce an SVG image that can be used in HTML documentation, but I
wasn’t able to. So that would still be an idea for the HTML documentation.

Cheers,
Joram
