Subject: Remove documentation books acronyms
X-Git-Tag: release/2.11.57-1~44^2~9
X-Git-Url: https://git.donarmstrong.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1c6759cab672a4ec27435aea003ffa9bc031b251;p=lilypond.git

Remove documentation books acronyms

This concludes the large argument on lilypond-user list "Please
forget..." started by Bertalan Fodor.

Also fix nits in "About the docs": add URL for News page, add xref to
init files locations description and minor formatting details.
