-@section Suggestions for writing LilyPond files
-
-Now you're ready to begin writing larger LilyPond files -- not just the
-little examples in the tutorial, but whole pieces. But how should you
-go about doing it?
-
-The best answer is ``however you want to do it.'' As long as LilyPond
-can understand your files and produces the output that you want, it
-doesn't matter what your files look like. That said, sometimes we
-make mistakes when writing files. If LilyPond can't understand your
-files, or produces output that you don't like, how do you fix the
-problem?
-
-Here are a few suggestions that can help you to avoid or fix
-problems:
-
-@itemize @bullet
-@item Include @code{\version} numbers in every file. Note that all
-templates contain a @code{\version "2.4.0"} string. We
-highly recommend that you always include the @code{\version}, no matter
-how small your file is. Speaking from personal experience, it's
-quite frustrating to try to remember which version of LilyPond you were
-using a few years ago. @code{convert-ly} requires you to declare
-which version of LilyPond you used.
-
-@item Include checks: See @ref{Bar check} and @ref{Octave check}. If you
-include checks every so often, then if you make a mistake, you can pinpoint
-it quicker. How often is ``every so often''? It depends on the complexity
-of the music. For very simple music, perhaps just once or twice. For
-very complex music, every bar.
-
-@item One bar per line. If there is anything complicated, either in the music
-itself or in the output you desire, it's often good to write only one bar
-per line. Saving screen space by cramming eight bars per line just isn't
-worth it if you have to `debug' your files.
-
-@item Comment your files, with either bar numbers (every so often) or
-references to musical themes (``second theme in violins'', ``fourth
-variation''). You may not need it when you're writing the piece for
-the first time, but if you want to go back and change something two
-or three years later, you won't know how your file is structured if you
-don't comment the file.

+@subsection SATB vocal score and automatic piano reduction
+
+This template adds an automatic piano reduction to the SATB vocal
+score. This demonstrates one of the strengths of LilyPond -- you
+can use a music definition more than once. If you make any changes
+to the vocal notes (say, tenorMusic), then the changes will also
+apply to the piano reduction.
