I agree only because it gives the appearance of a hostile atmosphere on 
the lilypond user's list which I know is not the truth.  A one line RTFM 
answer is not good communication.  If instead you said, "well you could 
blah blah blah, and if you want more information, <HERE>'s where you 
would look in the documentation, people would be more happily motivated.

I also agree about the acronyms.  I still, because of the way my memory 
works, have to go to the documenation page and compare the names to the 
acronyms to figure out where to look.
