No problem at all!  I still think documentation may need some
improvement in this area: the idea is that you read Learning Manual to
get a nice introduction, and when you understand what LilyPond is all
about, you should be able to use Notation Reference only.  So, if this
issue isn't explained in the NR, it should be changed.
