Re: Using .info documentation in emacs

[Hwaen Ch'uqi]

Greetings Kevin,

Hmmm. The line in your .emacs file looks identical to mine, though the
location itself is different. Is it possible that some permissions
need to be changed? I am not familiar with the lilypond-doc package,
having downloaded the documentation with the --documentation flag to
the .sh script. Also, my distro is Ubuntu, not Fedora. Anyone else
with ideas? I don't understand how you can access the Internals and
the Music Glossary but not other .info files!
