It is, unfortunately, sometimes too little verbose: say I've omitted a 
closing brace in a texinfo @-command. The only thing I get is

Making Documentation/fr/out-www/translation-lily-images (hard links)

Please check the logfile

  /home/jcharles/GIT/Traduc/Documentation/fr/notation.texi2pdf.log

for errors

As I've updated some files, I would have preferred the old way
instead of, like with .ly files, trying to obtain a MWE !

How would it be possible to access the Nirvana, or to reinstate some 
verbosity in this case, with:
