I don’t want LilyPond to be ‘esoteric’, but…
At least I would recommend to move that section above from "appendix"
to "prefix". That would ease the use of the manual. By practical
experience I know that no one really reads a manual (or even a section
of a manual) from beginning to end.
We tell new users that it’s required to read the entire Learning Manual,
and that’s a good thing, since it will much ease subsequent work with
LilyPond.
A much better solution might be (just as a question/recommendation)
not to strain a simple minded user like me
with such subtleties.
This is not a ‘subtlety’ but a fundamental design principle; as a matter
of fact, one cannot make thorough use of LilyPond without escaped Scheme
expressions. And IMO it’s better to give an honest and clear
explanation here, to avoid later confusion.
Best, Simon
