I was no annoyed at you making a mistake, but rather that Peter used
that in order to paint a bleak general picture of LilyPond.

You actually have managed to get pretty far considering the discrepancy
between documentation and actually used version.  And if you scour the
developer mailing lists around the time of 2.12 you'll likely find a lot
of choice words of mine about the state of the documentation even at a
time when it still _did_ correspond with the current version.  And that
version was so awfully inconsistent that it turned out easier to first
bring it into a state where you'd not have to wash out your hands with
soap after writing documentation for it.

Actually, you might want to look at
<URL:http://news.lilynet.net/?The-LilyPond-Report-23#feature_story_prelude_1_in_scheme>
which I mentioned elsewhere in this thread.  And compare the approach
there to the older, 2.12 style version of it that Nicolas Sceaux has on
his website.

Well, I definitely proud myself on facilitating one of the fastest PTF
times for active projects (PTF = posting to flamewar).

Yes.
