-INTRODUCTION
+To generate the pretty-printed docs, do this:
-This is a beta version of LilyPond (a music typesetter). This release is
-preliminary, please do not distribute. Please send your helpful comments and
-patches to me,
+ make doc
- hanwen@stack.urc.tue.nl
+in the top-level dir
-PREREQUISITES
-TeX, the MusixTeX fonts, g++ > v2.7. The "flower" library, which should be
-available from the same source you got this from.
+======================
-COMPILING
+NOTE:
-You will need GNU C++ v2.7 or better and GNU make. If you actually
-want to use this, you'd better use the "speedy" compilation flags in
-the Makefile.
+LilyPond is a long way from finished and polished. I do appreciate
+criticism, comments, bugreports, patches, etc. Please send e-mail to
