Hi Peter,

It *definitely* is!

I’m sorry your default expectation is to be critisized, scorned, or flamed — 
that hasn’t been my primary experience on this list (as a newbie more than a 
decade ago, or since), although there are of course exceptions. (As I recall, 
the lilypond-devel list is more severe.)

Can you give a concrete example? Either it is in the documentation and you were 
unable to find it, or it’s not in the documentation — either way, there may be 
a solution which will assist future users/readers.

Thanks,
Kieren.
