Re: A comment about the documentation

[Christian Masser]

Hi David!

Thanks for that find!

...well, if at anytime someone wants to help out and give something back to Lilypond: there are 583 instances of "DOCME" in the result of that script. Looks like an extensive list of "simple" and well packaged tasks if one wants to give a try at participating.

All the best

Christian

I hate to say it but I think the documentation is failing here, but can't see how to mend it easily. To start with, maybe a list of all the publicly available functions and their descriptions, but I suspect it would be far too long and need constant updating, which is not something that the LP documenters like for obvious reasons. Could it be mechanised?

Best regards,

Peter

Here's something which will give you a list of all public Scheme functions with whatever docstring is available in the source:

Hope this helps--
