+Please note that this all happened when I wasn't around yet.  If you
+think that I am a biased, unfair, predisposed hypocrite, then don't
+bother flaming me;  I already know that.
+
+The GNU Music project is a project which aims to create free software
+for music printing and composing.  It was started in november '92 by a
+core team of four members (Bryan Ford <baford@cs.utah.edu>, David Linn
+<drl@vuse.vanderbilt.edu>, Francois Pinard <pinard@iro.umontreal.ca>,
+Neil Jerram <nj104@cus.cam.ac.uk>) and in January '93 Robert Strandh
+<Robert.Strandh@labri.u-bordeaux.fr> joined.
+
+After serious disputes with Robert Strandh and the FSF staff in '94,
+the project core team got divided. The development efforts of GMP
+stopped.
+
+Independently, I (HWN) started LilyPond. When I showed it to
+RMS, he was very enthousiastic about having LilyPond in the GNU
+project. I subsequently learned about the GNU Music project, and
+contacted them.  
+
+What was left of the GMP (Robert Strandh) and us, LilyPond people,
+agreed that cooperation would be desirable. Although merging of both
+efforts was and is technically infeasible, we did decide that LilyPond
+should also be part of the GNU Music project.
+
+Only later did I discover the previous quarrels about the GMP-"take
+1". To show that I am aware of the history, and to make sure nobody
+gets me wrong or is angry at me because I stole a project or a
+project's name, I wrote this note.
+
+In summary, LilyPond is now the only substantial embodiment of the GNU
+Music Project, and it is part of the GNU project.

+For completeness' sake, I will mention the other efforts  here:
