Re: Windows: XML import problems due to strange blanks in LilyPond 2.19.82 (Win)

Thank you, Carl, for all your research!
Normally I'm a searcher and not a questioner, but I hadn't researched 
StemUp/Down syndrome extensively yet, so I simply added it as a 
postscript to my more problematic concern, since I also saw it as an XML 
import error and not as a feature.
I tried the command line options --nsd/--no-stem-directions and they 
worked perfectly. It wouldn't be bad to add the new options to the 
official documentation, or is it just for the stable version?
