 1: VERSIONING
 
-if you have downloaded a

-       *.pre*
-
-version, then this is version is *not* meant for producing nice output
-(but to keep your patchsets up to date).  It might not even compile.
+LilyPond uses a versioning scheme similar to the Linux kernel.  In a
+version "x.y.z", an even second number 'y' denotes a stable version.
+For development versions 'y' is odd.  For using straightforward score
+production, please use the latest stable version.  Development versions
+may not produce good or nice scores.
