+@subsubheading Everything is explicit
+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 Text files are failure- and future-proof
+
+Text files are very robust against file corruption. And as they are
+human-readable, you will always be able to interpret them even if
+you don't have access to the programs that created them.
+
+
+@subsubheading Manage your scores with version control
+
+Text files are applicable to be managed by version control. Go
+for it and experience infinite and selective undo/redo mechanisms
+and the full development history of your scores. Version control

@subsubheading Accessibility
who are totally blind can use screen-reading software to write
LilyPond files -- an impossible task in graphical-based
score-writing programs.

+@subsubheading Editor diversity
+
+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

+@subheading Extensible design
+
+@subsubheading Easy management of style sheets
+
+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
+stylesheets to produce scores with a completely different appearance or
+layout.
+You want to print a score on A4 paper and project it with a beamer,
+one system per page? LilyPond's layout engine will effortlessly produce
+both from the same input.
+
+@subsubheading Add your own functions
+
+If that still is not enough, there is always the built-in
+scripting language Scheme, which can access LilyPond's layout
+engine at the same level as LilyPond itself does, making it
+a @emph{very} powerful tool.
+Settings, variables and functions are all documented in the
comprehensive program reference manual.
+@subsubheading Process scores programmatically
+
+LilyPond input files can fully be edited or even generated by programs
+and scripts. This can for example be used for algorithmical composition.
+But you can also access the musical content for analysis, or manage
+input fragments in a database. There are no limitations except your
+imagination.
+
+
+@subsubheading Create new tools using LilyPond
+
+As LilyPond isn't a monolithic GUI program but a command line tool it
+can be used from within other applications too. This way it is possible
+to equip tools like e.g. web applications with LilyPond's engraving
+power. There already exist several online tools using LilyPond.
