[LV2] Lost due to no documentation on writing LV2 hosts

Hi, I don't know anything about LV2, and I only have very little time
available out of which I would like to port a sequencer I'm working on to
use it.

Unfortunately, there seems to be no documentation at all on writing hosts,
save for a reference on Lilv, which I can't make any sense of due to me
being completely unfamiliar with the naming conventions and context. There
are reference server implementations, but they don't really make any sense
either to me due to complete lack of exposure to LV2, it's conventions and
supported functions.

I would really like to request documentation written similar to this -
http://lv2plug.in/book/  but seen entirely from the host side. If this
could be done, I would enormously appreciated.

And again, please don't insist on telling me to go read a reference or
source code. As I mentioned, that takes way more time than I currently have
for working on this. I believe documentation should be equally good for
both hosts and plugin, even if there are less hosts written than plugins.

Best

Juan
