LilyPond Contributor's Guide: 5.4.2 Documentation files

### 5.4.2 Documentation files

All manuals live in ‘`Documentation/`’.

In particular, there are four user manuals, their respective master source files are ‘`learning.tely`’ (LM, Learning Manual), ‘`notation.tely`’ (NR, Notation Reference), ‘`music-glossary.tely`’ (MG, Music Glossary), and ‘`lilypond-program`’ (AU). Each chapter is written in a separate file, ending in ‘`.itely`’ for files containing lilypond code, and ‘`.itexi`’ for files without lilypond code, located in a subdirectory associated to the manual (‘`learning/`’ for ‘`learning.tely`’, and so on); list the subdirectory of each manual to determine the filename of the specific chapter you wish to modify.

Developer manuals live in ‘`Documentation/`’ too. Currently there is only one: the Contributor’s Guide ‘`contrib-guide.texi`’ you are reading.

Snippet files are part of documentation, and the Snippet List (SL) lives in ‘`Documentation/`’ just like the manuals. For information about how to modify the snippet files and SL, see LSR work.
