Re: Having problems with phrasing and ties combined

[Paul Hodges]

Thanks for the updates; I have places they will help!

On simultaneous slurs, I guess that the identifiers were introduced in 
2.20, later than I've revisited that part of the manuals - the 2.18 
learning manual still states the prohibition.

As an aside to that, I wonder if it would be worth while to restrict 
access to older manuals by Google.  A Google search (which I often use 
to include other sources of information and hints) more often than not 
presents an older version of LilyPond documentation, and I try to 
remember to change the URL to 2.22 each time!
