Jeremiah,a question comes suddenly to my mind: do you ever use the
LilyPond Snippet Repository?

(It's OK if you don't, it would just mean that it's not visible enough)

http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it

The LSR makes looking for tips extremely easy (Plus, we have a tagging
system that is gonna be accessible Real Soon Now, so things will be
made even easier).

Plus, it includes the whole LilyPond Documentation as well, and
searching for keywords is definitely much easier with this tool than
with the very limited index -- AFAIK only Graham has ever used it ;)

What, you mean something like:
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=368

:-)

Cheers,
Valentin


(PS. It's just a first try, which is why I haven't advertised it yet;
the whole code is commented out, as it is written for 2.11 and the LSR
is temporarily running 2.10)
