-INTRODUCTION
+To generate the pretty-printed docs, do a:
-This is a beta version of LilyPond (a music typesetter). Please send
-your helpful comments and patches to me,
+ make doc
- hanwen@stack.nl
-
-LilyPond is updated very frequently, the latest version is always available at:
-
- ftp://pcnov095.win.tue.nl/pub/lilypond
-
-PREREQUISITES
-
-TeX, the MusixTeX fonts, g++ > v2.7. The "flower" library, which should be
-available from the same source you got this from.
-
-COMPILING
-
-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.
-Do:
-
- tar zxf flower-1.11.9.tar.gz
- mv flower-1.11.9 flower
- cd flower; make; cd ..
- tar zxf lilypond-1.2.13.tar.gz
- cd lilypond-1.2.13
- make
-
-why G++ >= 2.7? LilyPond & flower lib uses builtin bool and typeof.
-
-USING
-
-No, you shouldn't. Really. If you're still not discouraged; this is
-what I type in my xterm:
-
- lilypond maartje.ly
- tex test
- xdvi test&

-This is what the output looks like over here.

-PROBLEMS
-
-If LilyPond bombs out, then please recompile using -g, and send a gdb
-stacktrace of the crash.
-
-
-HOW DOES IT WORK
-
-* Use The Source, Luke. If you don't know C++, you can try editing
-.dstreamrc for copious debugging output.
-
-* the subdir Documentation/ contains some in depth matter on LilyPond
-algorithms
-
-* The source is commented in the DOC++ style.
