-HINTS FOR STYLE
-
-* Do not forget to create @cindex entries for new sections of text.
-
-* Try not to use punctuation between an introductory sentence and
- display material (music, example code).
-
-* Do not refer to LilyPond in the text. The reader knows what the
- manual is about. If you do, capitalization is LilyPond.
-
-* If you explicitly refer to `lilypond', the program (or any other
- command to be executed), say `@command{lilypond}'.
-
-* Do not explicitly refer to the reader/user. There is no one else
- besides the reader and the writer.
-
-* Do not use abbreviations (don't, won't, etc.). If you do, use a
- comma after it:
-
- blabla blabla, i.e., blabla blabla
-
-* Avoid fluff (``Notice that,'' ``as you can see,'' ``Currently,'').
-
-* The above three suggestions refer to the formal Notation Manual
- (chapters 5 and up). In the Tutorial, Example templates, and
- Putting it all together, you may write more colloquially
-
-* The use of the word `illegal' is inappropriate in most cases. Say
- `invalid' instead.
-
-* Avoid long stretches of input code. Noone is going to read them in
- print. Instead refer to an example input file (@inputfileref), these
- are clickable in HTML.
-
-* Abbrevs in caps, e.g., HTML, DVI, MIDI, etc.
-
-* Colon usage
-
- 0. Do not use a colon to introduce examples, sentences just continue
-
- in the display material.
-
- 1. To introduce lists
- 2. When beginning a quote: "So, he said,..."
- This usage is rarer. Americans often just use a comma.
- 3. When adding a defining example at the end of a sentence.
-
-* To produce good looking texinfo output (for both TTY and DVI) some
- additional formatting rules should be followed.
-
- . Do not use tabs. They expand to nothing in DVI output.
-
- . Do not use spaces at the beginning of a line (except in @example
- or @verbatim environments), and do not use more than a single space
- between words. `makeinfo' copies the input lines verbatim without
- removing those spaces.
-
- . Variables or numbers which consist of a single character (probably
- followed by a punctuation mark) should be tied properly, either to
- the previous or the next word. Example:
-
- The variable@tie{}@var{a} ...
-
- . To get consistent indentation in the DVI output it is better to avoid
- the @verbatim environment. Use the @example environment instead if
- possible, but without extraneous indentation. For example, this
-
- @example
- foo {
- bar
- }
- @end example
-
- should be replaced with
-
- @example
- foo {
- bar
- }
- @end example
-
- where `@example' starts the line (without leading spaces).
-
- . Use the `quote' option in @lilypond commands if possible.
-
- . Do not compress the input vertically; this is, do not use
-
- Beginning of logical unit
- @example
- ...
- @end example
- continuation of logical unit
-
- but
-
- Beginning of logical unit
-
- @example
- ...
- @end example
-
- @noindent
- continuation of logical unit
-
- This makes it easier to not forget `@noindent'.
-
- . Non-ASCII characters which are in utf-8 should be directly used;
- this is, don't say `Ba@ss{}tuba' but `Baßtuba'. This ensures that
- all such characters appear in all output formats.
