Re: Documentation - first impressions of the latest manual

[Mats Bengtsson]

Note that it actually is a feature of LilyPond to remove the hyphen
if the spacing is too tight. Of course the example of hyphens in the
tutorial should show the hyphens. On the other hand, Section
"7.3.3 Hyphens and Extenders" already explain that hyphens will
be removed when the spacing is tight and also points to the relevant
properties to play with if you don't want it to happen.
