LilyPond input is @b{plain text}. So, you can use your favorite text
editor to enter it, you can put it in mail or embed it in an article like
this:
+@quotation
@lilypond[fragment,verbatim, relative 1]
- \key c \minor r8 c16 b c8 g as c16 b c8 d | g,4
-@end lilypond
+\key c \minor r8 c16 b c8 g as c16 b c8 d | g,4
+@end lilypond
+@end quotation
Or you can use it to print music from other programs, using one of the
numerous input filters.
LilyPond output looks @b{beautiful}. The font and the layout algorithms
were inspired by engraved music, so you can expect that same clear and
-elegant look from your LilyPond output. And if you don't like the
-looks, you can tweak almost everything.

+often buggy code, so use it only if you need special new features. On
