Lilypond documentation (info+man) installation?

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Hi;

  Thanks for your responses, Richard and Werner.

  I went ahead and downloaded the Documentation package from the
Lilypond website for vesion 2.24.3, unpacked it and updated my MANPAGE
and INFOPAGE environment variables and now I have access tothe
Lilypond man pages and info pages.

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott
