There are some interesting points to note in this example. Firstly,
-accidentals don't have to be marked explicitly: you just enter the
-pitch, and LilyPond determines whether or not to print an accidental.
-Secondly, bar lines and beams are drawn automatically. Thirdly,
-LilyPond calculates line breaks for you; it doesn't matter where you
-make new lines in the source file.

The example also indicates that a piece of music written in a high
register needs lots of quotes. This makes the input a bit unreadable,
