Manual formats

The LilyPond manuals generally come in three formats: split HTML, big HTML and PDF. Split HTML is good for reading online. Big HTML (and some of these can be very big) contains the whole manual in a single page. PDF is available for downloading and using offline. To get to these 3 formats, follow the links that read details of and then the manual name.
