Wraps `expr` in a LilyPond file with settings and overrides suitable
for the Abjad reference manual When `docs` is true.
Abjad writes LilyPond input files to the ``~/.abjad/output``
directory by default.
You may change this by setting the ``abjad_output`` variable in
the ``config.py`` file.
Returns none or timing tuple.
