I'm afraid I can't do the "box not high enough" one --- lack of ability. I did 
some experimental rooting around, but when I downloaded the webpage files from 
Savannah, I couldn't even get the page to display in the same way as when I 
viewed the online version --- so I couldn't even know how my changes would work 
out.

One thing I can do: I can get the files from Savannah, and insert the next/
previous links. However, I've never worked with Savannah, so I don't know how 
to 
upload, what tags to use etc. --- in short, I'm afraid of breaking stuff. Is 
there any other way I could submit those changes, or should I just try until I 
find a way to upload, and cross my fingers?

Roger that.

Documentation, yes; and indeed a TeXinfo problem, so never mind it.

Clearer markup is a good idea -- I hadn't recognised it as a Next pointer. I 
suggest that for consistency, you use the same Next/Previous markup you use in 
your essay, such as at the bottom of [http://lilypond.org/web/about/automated-
engraving/software.html], e.g.

    Next: A crash course in using LilyPond.

As it happens, the essay only has Next links, no Previous links. At least in 
the 
Information section, I suggest putting an analogous Previous link on the next 
line, left-aligned. That'd look like so:

                                      Next: A crash course in using LilyPond
    Previous: Why use LilyPond

So, should I have a go at putting in next/previous links; and how should I 
submit the changes?

Cheers,

Sietse
