-WHAT IS LilyPond?
-
-LilyPond is the GNU Project music typesetter.  This program can print
-beautiful sheet music from a music definition file.  It can also play
-performances to a MIDI file.
-
-
-WHAT'S NEW SINCE VERSION 0.1?
-
-* LilyPond now includes a completely new music font: the Feta font.  
-  We were quite disappointed with available music fonts, so we rolled
-  our own.  We did our best to copy the best symbol designs available,
-  and we think that we've succeeded in doing so.  We're proud of the
-  result, and we hope you agree, so go check it out!
