Doc: Usage 1.2 - Added note about using wildcards

Issue 4147

Added note about being able to use wildcards with
LilyPond in the 'Standard shell commands' section.

Changed some of the text for Windows and MacOS users,
who may not know what a 'shell' is, to reflect each
OS's own nomenclature for their 'Terminal' applicatoin.

Other minor typo fixes in this section.

-If your shell (i.e. command window) supports normal redirects,
-then you might find it useful to use the following commands to
-redirect console output to a file:
+Since LilyPond is a command line application, features of the @q{shell}
+used for calling LilyPond can also be put to good use.
 
-@itemize
+For example:
 
-@item
-@code{lilypond file.ly 1>stdout.log} to redirect normal output
+@example
+lilypond *.ly

-@code{lilypond file.ly 2>stderr.log} to redirect error messages

-@code{lilypond file.ly &>all.log} to redirect all output
+Redirecting the console output (e.g. to a file) may also be useful:

-Consult the documentation for your shell to see if it supports these

+applications (MacOS X) to see if output redirection is supported or if
+the syntax is different.
