That definition helps. I use the Guile manual, the section Regular
Expressions is miss leading about what is there. I only went there
because Arron Hill told me about it And the introduction states "A
full description of regular expressions and their syntax is beyond the
scope of this manual"; and the URL goes nowhere. And I would guess
knowing what to read elsewhere that is consistent with the guile
version Lilypond uses may be a probleblen. I am open to a good ron
cryptic reference?
