 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-GNU LilyPond is a program to typeset music: it generates TeX (or
-LaTeX) output from file input.
+GNU LilyPond is a program which converts music definition files into
+visual or auditive output: it can typeset formatted sheet music to a
+TeX file and and (mechanical) performances to MIDI files.
 
-As a bonus, you can also output a MIDI file of what you typed.
