-Under Unix, you can view the results as follows
-
-@example
-$ cd input/tutorial
-$ mkdir -p out/
-$ lilypond-book --output=out/ lilybook.tex
-lilypond-book (GNU LilyPond) 2.1.19
-Reading `input/tutorial/lilybook.tex'
-Reading `input/screech-boink.ly'
-@var{lots of stuff deleted}
-Writing `out/lilybook.tex'
-$ cd out
-$ latex lilybook
-@var{lots of stuff deleted}
-$ xdvi lilybook
-@end example
-
-To convert the file into a nice PDF document, run the following
-commands
-
-@example
-$ dvips -Ppdf -u +lilypond lilybook
-$ ps2pdf lilybook.ps
-@end example
-
-Running lilypond-book and running latex creates a lot of temporary
-files, which would clutter up the working directory. To remedy this,
-use the @code{--output=@var{dir}} option. It will create the files in
-a separate subdirectory @file{dir}.
-
-Finally the result of the La@TeX{} example shown above.@footnote{Note
-that in this tutorial the example is processed with Texinfo. This gives
-slightly different results in layout.} This finishes the tutorial
-section.

-Documents for lilypond-book may freely mix music and text. For
-example,
-
-@lilypond
-\score { \notes \relative c' {
- c2 g'2 \times 2/3 { f8 e d } c'2 g4
-} }
-@end lilypond
-
-If there is no @code{\score} block in the fragment,
-@code{lilypond-book} will supply one
-
-@lilypond[quote]
-c'4
-@end lilypond
-
-@noindent
-In this example two things happened: a
-@code{score} block was added, and the line width was set to natural
-length.
