Very true.

I remember that it took me a while to figure out. Maybe the exact
comments above could add to the docs as a small section called
"LilyPond File Organization"?

I was just looking through the manual to see where that section might
fit. A new section 5.8 or 10.8 might work ... but I'm not sure ...
maybe a new appendix is better?

(The only comparison point I have handy are the Mathematica docs,
which include a "Mathematica File Organization" section as appendix
A.8 out of A.13.)

Eventually something similar in structure to the ROADMAP textfile in
the sourceball -- but targetted like the user manual (ie, at regular
users rather than develoeprs) -- would probably be nice, since knowing
how to look through the installation resources is, as Carrick was
finding out, still very useful indeed :-)
