-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
-Technically GNU LilyPond is a preprocessor which generates TeX
-(or LaTeX) output which contains information to typeset a musical
-score. Practically it is a typesetter, which only uses TeX as an
-output medium. (this is handy because there exist music fonts for TeX)
+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.

+Eric Praetzel was kind enough to provide a mirror of both the website
+and the ftp site.
-As a bonus, you can also output a MIDI file of what you typed.
+=back
-It translates script files (mudela files or F<*.ly>'s) into TeX input.
-Typesetting music is a complex task, whereas the message that printed
-music conveys is usually a simple one. GNU LilyPond is a try at providing
-a simple interface for setting music.
