GENERAL GUIDELINES
* Do not forget to create @cindex entries for new sections of text.
-Enter commands with @funindex, i.e.
-@funindex \relative
-do not bother with the @code{} (they are added automatically). These
-items are added to both the command index and the unified index.

* The use of the word `illegal' is inappropriate in most cases. Say
`invalid' instead.
* Lines should be less than 80 characters long.
+* Use @q instead of `...' and @qq instead of ``...''. The latter macro
+ should be used with care since we use `...' as the default quoting
+ throughout the manual, except for things related to direct speech.
