+The Homepage of LilyPond -- the GNU Project music typesetter
=head1 DESCRIPTION
+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.
+
+This is not a Fanmail/Hype page. These pages were entirely created from
+the LilyPond package-sources.
+
+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.
