... Hence the use of LilyJHelp :)

This was what John suggested a while ago, using an AJAX framework. As
soon as we find anyone who know how to do that, we will see about it.

For now, I have been working on the HTML/CSS display of the
documentation (unfortunately, this is all I can do, but still).

That's unfair :) This feature has just been implemented while we were
rewriting the whole documentation, so no wonder it is not documented
yet. When it is, you'll find it in the Notation Reference as I told
you :)

Interesting. I'll probably use it in my score too.

Yes. Besides, the LM is supposed to be entirely read, whereas the NR
is just here to help you on specific subjects.

Yes, we have to think about a better integration of the index. Right
now, it is not veru useful (and therefore not much used). Plus, I
suggested Graham to add a few search functions. You will probably see
some improvements in the months to come.
