Not knowing the question to ask is often  a problem for me to. You are
not alone with this experience.

Perhaps he is asking how docbook format works. I'm just guessing about
his query myself.

However, I'll add this; It is truly frustrating to have a question and
not know how to ask it. I know that you all cannot help with this, its
a personal struggle (chuckle) we all have had at one time or other. It
just happens with Lilypond more often. That isn't a comment on the
quality of the workmanship on the project as much as it is a comment
on the complexity of the objectives of the project.

Written music itself is a major challenge, Western European Music is
another order more complex than most. Lilypond not only renders WEM,
but adds music of other cultures to the mix. Its sort of like trying
to be all things to all people. That Lilypond has gotten as far as it
has is something of a miracle in itself!
