@node Introduction
@imageFloat{flat-design,png,right}
-The inspiration for LilyPond came when two musicians became
-annoyed with the bland and boring look of computer-printed
-sheet music. All musicians prefer reading beautiful music, so why
-couldn't programmers write software to produce better printed
-parts?
+LilyPond came about when two musicians wanted to go beyond the
+soulless look of computer-printed sheet music. Musicians prefer
+reading beautiful music, so why couldn't programmers write
+software to produce elegant printed parts?
+
+The result is a program that creates beautiful sheet music
+following the best traditions of classical music engraving.
+It takes care of the details of layout programmatically,
+allowing composers, transcribers and publishers to focus
+on the @emph{music} instead of improving their software's
+default output. Performers will get parts that let them
+concentrate on @emph{playing} music instead of @emph{reading} it.
+
-This software just does that: it prints music in the best
-traditions of classical engraving with minimum fuss. Don't waste
-time on tuning spacing, moving around symbols, or shaping slurs.
-Impress friends and colleagues with sharp sheet music!

+LilyPond allows musicians to produce elegant sheet music that is
+easy to read. Its developer community has spent thousands of hours
+developing powerful music engraving software that results in beautifully
+engraved music. All of LilyPond's style settings, font designs and
+algorithms have been inspired by the finest hand-engraved music.
+LilyPond output has the same strong, balanced and elegant look as the
+best-engraved classical scores. This is further explained in our
+@ref{Essay}.

+@subheading Text input
-@subsubheading Excellent classical engraving
+@subsubheading Everything is explicit
-@imageFloat{flat-design,png,right}
+LilyPond processes text input, which contains all information
+about the @emph{content} of your score and can easily be read
+by any human or another program. There are no obscure
+settings hidden behind menu items and binary file storage.
+
+Read more about this concept on @ref{Text input}.
+
+
+@subsubheading Tweaks are robust and traceable
+
+If you have to change anything in the layout this tweak will
+also be explicitly visible in the input file in human-readable
+form, so you will always be able to retrace what you've done.
+If you should accidentally break anything you can easily revert
+or modify any decision without being at the mercy of an
+@emph{Undo} function.

+
+
+@subsubheading Effective layout choices
Spend less time with tweaking the output; LilyPond gets the
formatting correct right from the start. It determines spacing by
and slurs and beams are sloped, automatically!
-@subsubheading Text-based input
+@subsubheading Mix music and text
-LilyPond takes ASCII input, which you can produce in your favorite
-text editor, quickly and comfortably. No more futzing with the
-mouse. The input contains all the information, so there is no
-need to remember complex command sequences. Simply save an input
-for later reference.
+Put fragments of music into texts without cutting and pasting
+pictures. Integrate music into @LaTeX{} or HTML seamlessly, or add
+music to OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice with OOoLilyPond. Plugins are
+also available to allow LilyPond code in various blogs and wikis, making
+online collaboration possible.
@subsubheading Accessibility
who are totally blind can use screen-reading software to write
LilyPond files -- an impossible task in graphical-based
score-writing programs.
+You can see a spectacular score on @ref{Examples}.
+@subsubheading Editor diversity
-@subsubheading Mix music and text
+Several developers, themselves active LilyPond users,
+have written tools specifically aimed at making the process of editing
+LilyPond files faster and more effective; you are not tied to
+a single user interface but can use different tools for different tasks.
+You can even use a full-fledged LilyPond editor at home and use your
+mobile phone's notepad app to edit the files on the go. For some examples,
+see @ref{Easier editing}.

-LilyPond can be downloaded free of charge! Yep - It's free. Get

+All layout settings can be changed to suit your personal typographical
+taste. So you can easily write style sheets that change every aspect of
+LilyPond scores' default appearance. As these are also written as text
+and can be stored in separate files you can simply switch between two

+layout.
