-This file documents GNU LilyPond.
+* Do not forget to create @cindex entries for new sections of text.
-Copyright 1999 Han-Wen Nienhuys, Jan Nieuwenhuizen and Adrian Mariano
+* Try not to use punctuation between an introductory sentence and
+ display material (music, example code).
-Permission is granted to make and distribute verbatim
-copies of this manual provided the copyright notice and
-this permission notice are preserved on all copies.
+* Do not refer to LilyPond in the text. The reader knows what the
+ manual is about. If you do, capitalization is LilyPond.
-@ignore
-Permission is granted to process this file through TeX
-and print the results, provided the printed document
-carries a copying permission notice identical to this
-one except for the removal of this paragraph (this
-paragraph not being relevant to the printed manual).
+* If you explicitly refer to `lilypond', the program (or any other
+ command to be executed), say `@command{lilypond}'.
-@end ignore
+* Do not explicitly refer to the reader/user. There is no one else
+ besides the reader and the writer.
-Permission is granted to copy and distribute modified
-versions of this manual under the conditions for
-verbatim copying, provided also that the sections
-entitled ``Copying'' and ``GNU General Public License''
-are included exactly as in the original, and provided
-that the entire resulting derived work is distributed
-under the terms of a permission notice identical to this
-one.
+* Do not use abbreviations (don't, won't, etc.). If you do, use a
+ comma after it:
-Permission is granted to copy and distribute
-translations of this manual into another language,
-under the above conditions for modified versions,
-except that this permission notice may be stated in a

+ blabla blabla, i.e., blabla blabla
-@end ifinfo
+* Avoid fluff (``Notice that,'' ``as you can see,'' ``Currently,'').
-@ignore
-Should add disclaimer, abstract
+* 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).
-"GNU LilyPond has no connection with the music package Rosegarden, other
-than the names being similar :-)"
+ . 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 latin-1 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.
