This document explains what you need to install LilyPond, and what you
should do. If you are going to compile and install LilyPond often,
-e.g. when doing development, you might want to check out the
-@file{buildscripts/set-lily.sh} script. It sets some environment
-variables and symlinks, which comes in handly when you have to compile
-LilyPond more often.

@section Obtaining
Although we recommend to use Unix, LilyPond is known to run on Windows
NT/95/98 as well. See Section Windows NT/95,es.

recommended. Xdvi will show all embedded PostScript too if you have
Ghostscript installed.

documentation on-line documentation. It is made by entering @example
