-HINTS FOR STYLE
-
-* Do not forget to create @cindex entries for new sections of text.
-
-* Try not to use punctuation between introductocing sentence and
-display material (verbatim, 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.
-
-* 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.).
-
-* Avoid fluff (``Notice that,'' ``as you can see,'' ``Currently,'')
-
-* 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.
