I'm very sorry, but I can't accept the patch as it currently stands.
There are three main problems:
1) Contradictions ( "we'll"): we try to avoid contradictions and use
formal language in the notation reference.
2) Spaces in lilypond examples: we use two-space indents. About 50% of
this patch is simply removing one space from the indentation. (?)
3) It's very long. This isn't necessarily a bad thing by itself, but
if this was a much shorter patch, I would commit it anyway and then fix
the above two points myself.
Could you fix these issues and send a smaller patch? For example, we
could begin by testing a patch that only changes "setting simple songs"
and "entering lyrics"; once that was successful, we could work on
"aligning lyrics to a melody", etc.
Sorry,
- Graham
