+There are two sets of releases for LilyPond: stable releases, and
+unstable development releases. Stable versions have an even-numbered
+@q{minor} version number (i.e. 2.8, 2.10, 2.12, etc). Development
+versions have an odd-numbered @q{minor} version number (i.e. 2.7, 2.9,
+2.11, etc).
+
+Building LilyPond is a very involved process, so we @strong{highly}
+recommend using the precompiled binaries.
