-GNU LilyPond -- the Webpage

-Excuse me for this poor page. I don't really have time for doing this..
+The Homepage of LilyPond -- the GNU Project music typesetter
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-GNU LilyPond is a program to typeset music: it generates TeX (or
-LaTeX) output from file input.
+LilyPond is the GNU Project music typesetter. It generates visual or
+auditive output from a music definition file: it can typeset formatted
+sheet music to a TeX file and play (mechanical) performances to a MIDI
+file.
-As a bonus, you can also output a MIDI file of what you typed.
+This is not a Fanmail/Hype page. These pages were entirely created from
+the LilyPond package-sources.
-<a href=example_output.html

-examples of what LilyPond can do: MIDI, PS, .gif and input.
-</a
->
+Note: These pages are created from the latest B<development snapshots>
+of LilyPond. You can look at the bottom if you want to know which
+version this was.
