+
+This document shows a selected set of LilyPond snippets from the
+@uref{http://lsr@/.dsi@/.unimi@/.it,LilyPond Snippet Repository}
+(LSR). It is in the public domain.
+
+Please note that it is not an exact subset of LSR: some snippets come
+from @file{input/new} LilyPond sources directory, and snippets from LSR
+are converted through @command{convert-ly}, as LSR is based on a stable
+LilyPond version, and this document may be for a newer version (see
+below).
+
+Snippets are grouped by tags; tags listed in the table of contents match
+a section of LilyPond notation manual. Snippets may have several tags,
+and not all LSR tags may appear in this document.
+
+In the HTML version of this document, you can click on the file name
+or figure for each example to see the corresponding input file.
