-LilyPond prints music from a specification that you, the user, supply.
-You have to give that specification using a textual @emph{language}.
-This chapter is a gentle introduction to that language.
-
-This tutorial will demonstrate how to use Lilypond by presenting
-examples of input along with resulting output. We will use English
-terms for notation. In case you are not familiar with those, you may
-consult the glossary that is distributed with LilyPond.
-@cindex examples, tutorial
-
-The examples discussed are included in the distribution, in the
-subdirectory @file{input/tutorial/}@footnote{When we refer
-to filenames, they are relative to the top directory of the source
-package. In binary installations you should look in your doc section,
-eg, @code{/usr/share/doc/lilypond1.3/examples/input/tutorial}
-@cindex file names
-}. We recommend that you experiment with writing Lilypond input
-yourself, to get a feel for how the program behaves.

-@section Running LilyPond
+The music is described in a text file, using a simple music language.
+LilyPond reads that text file and generates music that you can print or
+view.
-Before we dive into describing the input language of LilyPond, we first
-show you through the procedure for getting notes on your screen and out
-of your printer.
+Therefore, creating music notation with LilyPond is done in two steps.
+Using a text editor, you write down the notes to print. Then, you run
+LilyPond to get your printed output.
-The first step is creating an input file. Using your favorite
-text-editor, create @file{test.ly} containing
+This tutorial starts with a small introduction to the LilyPond music
+language. After this first contact, we will show you how to run
+LilyPond to produce printed output; you should then be able to create
+your first sheets of music.
-@ignore
+The tutorial continues with a slightly more elaborate example of real music.
+This piece introduces and explains some finer details of LilyPond.
+Then, a number of more complex examples follow, that will help you to
+produce most complex music with LilyPond.
-NOTE: if you're reading this, ie, the Texinfo source itself, test.ly
-should of course contain:

- \notes { c'4 e' g' }

+
+This section shows how easy writing music with LilyPond actually is. If
+you have not seen LilyPond input source before, this section is for you.
+
+The next section has a table (see @ref{Simple legend}) of all symbols
+that are introduced here, you may want to keep an eye on that.
+
+Writing music with LilyPond is explained below by a number of small
+examples. Each example has a small piece of text; the LilyPond input
+that you should type, with the resulting music printed below it.
+
+You get a simple note by typing its note name, from @code{a} through
+@code{g}:
+
+@quotation
@example
-\score @{
- \notes @{ c'4 e' g' @}

+@end lilypond
+@end quotation
+@separate
-On unix, you invoke ly2dvi to compile your lilypond source file (you can
-omit the @code{.ly}):
+The length of a note is specified by adding a number, ``@code{1}'' for a
+whole note, ``@code{2}'' for a half note, and so on:

+@end lilypond
+@end quotation

+
+If you don't specify a duration, the previous duration is used:

+@end lilypond
+@end quotation
+@separate
+
+From these commands and notes, a piece of music can be formed. A piece
+of music is made by enclosing it in ``@code{\notes @{ ... @}}''.
+LilyPond then knows that music follows (and not lyrics, for example):
+
+@quotation
+@example
+\notes @{
+ \time 3/4
+ \clef bass
+ c2 e4 g2.
+ f4 e d c2.
+@}
@end example
+@end quotation
+@separate
+
+At this point, the piece of music is ready to be printed. This is done
+by combining the music with a printing command.
+
+The printing command is the so-called ``@code{\paper}'' block. You will
+see later that the \paper block is necessary to customize all kinds of
+printing specifics. The music and the \paper block are combined by
+enclosing them in ``@code{\score @{ ... @}}''. This is what a full
+LilyPond source file looks like:
-@c FIXME: should we say anything on xdvi-gs interaction?
+@quotation
+@example
+\score @{
+ \notes @{
+ \time 3/4
+ \clef bass
+ c2 e4 g2.
+ f4 e d c2.

+ \paper @{ @}

+@end example
-You should see the following in a window next to some buttons.

+
+@c accidentals...
+There are some interesting points to note in this example. Firstly,
+accidentals (sharps and flats) don't have to be marked explicitly: you
+just enter the note name, 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.
-@c FIXME: talk about newer Yap versions, proper gs installation?
-When you're satisfied with the result, you can print from within Yap
-(File/Print). Note that Yap may not display embedded PostScript symbols
-such as beams and slurs. Don't worry, they'll be printed anyway.
+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,
+and is therefore also a potential source of errors.
+
+@separate
-You can also print the PostScript file directly from the
-command line using GSview:
+The solution is to use ``relative octave'' mode. In practice, most
+music is entered using this mode.
+To use relative mode, add @code{\relative} before the piece of music.
+You must also give a note from which relative starts, in this case
+@code{c''}.
+
+@c In relative octave mode, quotes are used to mark large jumps in the
+@c melody. Without any quotes or commas, the interval between a note and
+@c its predecessor is assumed to be a fourth or less. Quotes and commas
+@c add octaves in up and down direction.
+
+If you type no octaviation quotes, relative mode chooses the note that
+is closest to the previous one, which is often just the one you need.
+@c don't use commas or quotes in this sentence
+For example: @code{c f} goes up; @code{c g} goes down:
+
+@quotation
@example
-gsview32 /s test.ps
+\relative c'' @{
+ c f c g c
+@}
@end example
+@lilypond[fragment]
+\property Score.timing = ##f
+\property Staff.TimeSignature = \turnOff

+@c needed better, maybe even redundant explanation
+@c grappig: Pa vond het heel logies, en slim toen-i eenmaal begreep.
+@c in eerste instantie drong het `relative' niet door zonder extra uitleg.
+You can make a large interval by adding octaviation quotes. Note that
+quotes or commas do not determine the absolute height of a note;
+the height of a note is relative to the previous one.
+@c don't use commas or quotes in this sentence
+For example: @code{c f,} goes down; @code{f, f} are both the same;
+@code{c c'} are the same; and @code{c g'} goes up:

+A slur is drawn across many notes, and indicates bound articulation
+(legato). The starting note and ending note are marked with a
+``@code{(}'' and a ``@code{)}'' respectively:

+
+If you need two slurs at the same time (one for articulation, one for
+phrasing), you can also make a phrasing slur with @code{\(} and
+@code{\)}.

+
+Beams are drawn automatically, but if you don't like the choices, you
+can enter beams by hand. Surround the notes to be grouped with @code{[}
+and @code{]}:
+@quotation
+@lilypond[fragment,relative 1, verbatim]
+[a8 ais] [d es r d]
+@end lilypond
+@end quotation
+@separate
+
+To print more than one staff, each piece of music that makes up a staff
+is marked by adding @code{\context Staff} before it. These
+@code{Staff}'s can be grouped inside @code{<} and @code{>}, as is
+demonstrated here:
+
+@quotation
+@lilypond[fragment,verbatim]
+<
+ \context Staff = staffA { \clef violin c'' }
+ \context Staff = staffB { \clef bass c }
+>
+@end lilypond
+@end quotation
+
+In this example, @code{staffA} and @code{staffB} are names that are
+given to the staves. For now, it doesn't matter what names you give, as
+long as each staff has a unique name.
+
+@separate
+
+We can typeset a melody with two staves now:
+
+@quotation
+@lilypond[verbatim]
+\score {
+ \notes
+ < \context Staff = staffA {
+ \time 3/4
+ \clef violin

+ \clef bass
+ c2 e4 g2.
+ f4 e d c2.
+ }
+ >
+ \paper {}
+}
+@end lilypond
+@end quotation
+
+Notice that the time signature is specified in one melody staff only
+(the top staff), but is printed on both. LilyPond knows that the time
+signature should be the same for all staves.
+
+@separate
+
+Common accents can be added to a note using @code{-.}, @code{--}, @code{->}:
+@quotation
+@lilypond[verbatim,relative 1]
+c-. c-- c->
+@end lilypond
+@end quotation
+@separate
+
+Dynamic signs are made by adding the markings to the note:
+@quotation
+@lilypond[verbatim,relative 1]
+c-\ff c-\mf
+@end lilypond
+@end quotation
+@separate
+
+Crescendi are started with the commands @code{\<} and @code{\>}. The
+command @code{\!} finishes a crescendo on the following note.
+@quotation
+@lilypond[verbatim,relative 1]
+c2\< \!c2-\ff \>c2 \!c2
+@end lilypond
+@end quotation
+@separate
+
+Chords can be made by surrounding notes with @code{<} and @code{>}:
+@quotation
+@lilypond[relative 0, fragment,verbatim]
+r4 <c e g> <c f a>
+@end lilypond
+@end quotation
+@separate
+

+@c te diepzinnig?
+@c hmm, te losjes, iig
+In general, @code{ < @var{stuff} > } is used when @var{stuff} all
+happens at the same time, like in chords, or (like in the two-staff
+example above) in a bunch of stacked staves.
+@end ignore
+
+Of course, you can combine beams and ties with chords. Notice that
+beam and tie markings are placed outside the chord markers:
+@quotation
+@lilypond[relative 0, fragment,verbatim]
+r4 [<c8 e g> <c8 f a>] ~ <c8 f a>
+@end lilypond
+@end quotation
+
+When you want to combine chords with slurs and dynamics, an annoying
+technical detail crops up: you have type these commands next to the
+notes, which means that they have to be inside the @code{< >}:
+
+@quotation
+@lilypond[relative 0, fragment,verbatim]
+r4 <c8 e g \> ( > <c e g> <c e g> < ) \! c8 f a>
+@end lilypond
+@end quotation

+
+A nasty technical detail also crops up when you start a score with a
+chord:
+
+@quotation
+@lilypond[verbatim,singleline]
+\score { \notes <c'1 e'1> }
+@end lilypond
+@end quotation
+@separate
+
+The program can not guess that you want the notes on only one staff. To
+force the chord on a staff, add @code{\context Staff} like this:

+This is the end of the simple tutorial. You know the basic ingredients

+doing it yourself: try to type some simple examples, and experiment a
+little.
+
+When you're comfortable with the basics, then you might want to read the

+@node Running LilyPond
+@section Running LilyPond
+
+You write music with LilyPond as follows: first you edit a text file
+containing a description of the notes. Then you run LilyPond on the
+file. This leaves you with an output file, which you can view or print.
+
+In this section we explain how to run LilyPond, and view or print the
+output. If you have not used LilyPond before, want to test your setup
+of LilyPond, or try to run an example file yourself, then read this
+section.
+
+The instructions that follow are for running LilyPond on Unix-like
+systems. Some additional instructions for running LilyPond on Windows
+are given at the end of this section.
+
+You begin with opening a terminal window, and start up a text editor.
+For example, open an xterm and execute @code{joe}. In your text editor,
+enter the following input, and save the file as @file{test.ly}:
+
+@quotation
+@example

+@end quotation
+
+@cindex ly2dvi
+
+@c now this is weird, running ly2dvi to run LilyPond
+@c (therefore name change proposal)
+
+To run LilyPond, you invoke ly2dvi to compile your LilyPond source file:
+
+@quotation
+@example
+ly2dvi -P test.ly
+@end example
+@end quotation
+
+You will see the following on your screen:
+
+@quotation
+@example
+GNU LilyPond 1.4.0
+Now processing: `/home/fred/ly/test.ly'
+Parsing...
+Interpreting music...[1]

+PS output to `test.ps'...
+DVI output to `test.dvi'...
+@end example
+@end quotation
+@cindex DVI file
+@cindex Viewing music
+@cindex xdvi
+
+The results of the ly2dvi run are two files, @file{test.dvi} and
+@file{test.ps}. The PS file (@file{test.ps}) is the one you can print.
+You can view the PS file using the program ghostview. If a version of
+ghostview is installed on your system, one of these commands will
+produce a window with some music notation on your screen:
+@c eeek
+@quotation
+@example
+ gv test.ps
+ ghostview test.ps
+ ggv test.ps
+ kghostview test.ps
+@end example
+@end quotation
+If you are satisfied with the looks of the music displayed on your
+screen, you can print the PS file by clicking File/Print inside
+ghostview.
+
+The DVI file (@file{test.dvi}) contains the same sheet music in a
+different format. DVI files are more easily processed by the computer,
+so viewing them usually is quicker. Execute @code{xdvi test.dvi}
+to view the DVI file.
+
+If your DVI viewer does not have a "Print" button, you can print the
+file by executing @code{lpr test.ps}.
+
+@c volgende alinea schrappen?
