Notes to proofreaders and validators
Each numbered section (usually a single paragraph) should be marked with an anchor, e.g. for section 4.

This enables cross-reference links to be made.
 * If the link is to a section in the same chapterl then format the link like § 36.
 * If the link is to a section in a different chapter, then format the link like § 36.

To work out which chapter a section is in, use this table:

Scores
To align the composer and work names on the score snippets, each snippet needs to be wrapped in a block center template: e.g.

For consistency of look, set each score snippet in the following format:

Relative: This command declares which octave the snippet starts in. I've found it easiest to use the starting note instead of working out which C is within 4 notes of the starting note.

Clefs: If a snippet is in the treble clef, then there is no need to declare the clef. Lilypond doesn't have the 19th Century tenor or alto printed clefs available, so just allow it to use the modern version.

Key: Explicitly declare the key, even if it is C major or A minor. It makes it much easier to verify and the accidentals will work automatically.

Time: The standard forms of common time (4/4) and alla breve (2/2) are the defaults so there is no need to do anything extra for these.

Partial: If a score snippet begins with part of a bar, then it needs to be declared. Most can be expressed as a simple duration, but if there are, for example 5 quavers then use 8*5 (not 5*8).

Mark: The phrase "\mark \markup \tiny { ( \italic a ) }" will label the snippet with (a) at an appropriate size. As I write this, I've got as far as (d) in a section.

Suppress bar numbers: If a snippet goes over two lines, you will want to suppress the bar numbers. To do so use \override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#f #f #f) before the \partial command.

Crotchet rests (quarter note rests): This work uses the old style (reversed quaver rest). To force this use \override Score.Rest #'style = #'classical before the \partial command.

Vorbis: This command within the score tag generates an audio version of the score snippet. This can be useful to pick up wrong notes when transcribing a score snippet.
