I suggested avoiding subsubsections such as in current Vocal music.
Graham is reluctant to make more chapters (still can't forget about
his "four letters" answer in a private mail :) but as more and more
users ask for structural changes, he might want to explain his
reluctance...
I personnally have mixed feelings about this. On one hand I suspect
more chapters would make the manual less visibly structured (large
chapters help understand the different kinds of logics in LilyPond),
on the other hand I voted myself for independant Vocal and Ancient
chapters.
I guess the main goal is to make life easier for everyone. Since
everybody, more or less, is using lyrics, I thought Vocal music should
be very visible. But the same isn't (unfortunately) true for Ancient
music...

Graham's whole point is to make Basic/Advanced/etc disappear anyway.
There's quite a conscensus about that.
