Setting myself into the situation of a maybe user wanting to switch
off the pagenumber I would google "lilypond pagenumber". Google is
correcting me to page number (in correct English written separately).The first hit is
LilyPond Notation Reference: 4.1.6 Other \paper variables
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/other-paper-variablesand there I can find
\paper variables for page numbering
and eventually land atprint-page-number
If set to false, page numbers are not printed.What to do now as a simple minded user?
print-page-number = false
print-page-number = "false"
etc. .....The second google hit is
3.2.4 Reference to page numbers
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/reference-to-page-numbersBeing familiar with lilypond ##f might find my attention - or not. But
that link is not really helpful. To get the syntax I would have to
google again ....I would recommend to add the options a user has to any item in the
chapter (maybe in other chapters as well)
4.1.6 Other \paper variables
in the actual example that would mean
print-page-number
default is ##true. If set to false (##f), page numbers are not
printed. Example of use:
print-page-number = ##fIs there any adress to send this as a recommendation to the manual
editors? It is not a bug so I think the bug list is not the correct
address?
I agree that the use of the words "true" and "false" in that context is
suboptimal and will confuse users who are still struggling with "false",
"#f" and "##f".
I'm not completely sure what the best resolution is.
