Cancel that, it looks like the error building the PDF format output
for this book is in fact a new bug. It is not immediately obvious
whether the fault lies with the content of the book or with
something fop is doing but I have used fpaste to record the output:
http://fpaste.org/DYoR/
In light of this I would indeed suggest raising a bug to track any
efforts to progress this further.

Jaromir has assisted in working out that for some reason FOP doesn't like the
Author_Group content:
<authorgroup>
<corpauthor>
Fedora Project Contributors
</corpauthor>
</authorgroup>
This is however content that is valid as per the standard and also in use in other guides
that build! For now I have:
1) Raised
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=756864
2) Commented out the Author_Group (the corpauthor is the only entry) to allow PDF builds
to succeed.
3) Updated the f16 branch for this guide to:
- Remove the draft status.
- Update the links to files which change each release, as instructed in
Musicians_Guide.xml.
4) Pushed as per instructions at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Publishing_a_document_with_Publican
Please let me know if there is anything I could/should do to further progress this.
Thanks,
Steve
