Thank you, David, for your prompt action, and Jean for that humorous story.

The only reason I cc'd Harm was that he was one of five listed under Documentation in http://lilypond.org/authors.html, and in previous posts he had identified himself as a [fellow] classical guitarist.  So I imagined he might smile, as I did, at seeing the double bass listed among fretted instruments.

And thanks, Michael, for your pointer to that documentation in your response to the OP.  I try to follow such links when they're from someone who apparently knows more about the topic than I do.  It is, indeed, an excellent read.

I hope everyone is now smiling.

Jeff

P.S. What's the best way to alert somebody whenever I see a small nit like this in the documentation?  I don't have an account on gitlab, nor do I subscribe to the bugs or developers lists.
