New issue 4352 by address@hidden: add editor tips in Usage manual
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4352

Discussed last year but I forgot to add it to the tracker:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2014-04/msg00676.html

I've recently updated the translation of Frescobaldi and I found out a  
wonderful feature that I had ignored for a lot of time (I don't know when  
it was introduced..).
I'm talking about Window>Split horizontally, which allows to divide the  
input view in two scrollable panes. This is _very_ handy when writing a  
polyphonic music where each voice is saved in a variable; after a few bars  
the distance between the two voices forces you to scroll up and down  
between the first and the second voice, while inserting new bars. If you  
split the input view, you can easily jump from first to second voice  
without scrolling.

What about adding a section in the Usage manual named "Editor tips" under  
chapter 5?
Of course, this section should not be a guide for each editor. Instead it  
should be a concise list of some editor features that can ease the writing  
of lilypond code.
