[DETAILED DESCRIPTION]
-WHAT IS GNU LilyPond
+WHAT IS GNU LilyPond?
+
+GNU LilyPond which converts music definition files into visual or
+audio output: it can typeset formatted sheet music to a TeX file and
+and (mechanical) performances to MIDI files.
+
+WHY?
-Technically it is a preprocessor which generates TeX
-(or LaTeX) output which contains information to typeset a musical
-score. Practically it is a typesetter, which only uses TeX as an
-output medium. (this is handy because there exist music fonts for TeX)
+We want to create tools which can produce production quality scores
+and parts of public music. We haven't quite reached that goal:
-As a bonus, you can also output a MIDI file of what you typed.
+* The quality of the output isn't good enough yet due to
+some (still) insophisticated algorithms
-The input is a script file which is read. The script file is a "music
-definition", ie, you type the melody as if it is read out loud
+* A number of features haven't been implemented (although they can be
+quite simple)
+
+We Want You! You can become a user, but we'd really appreciate to
+have some Hackers to help advance our project more quickly.
WHAT IS NEEDED?
for running you need
TeX
+ MusiXTeX fonts
+
+The MusiXTeX fonts are part of the MusiXTeX package version T.73,
+available at http://www.gmd.de/Misc/Music/
-FEATURES
+WHAT CAN LILYPOND DO?
ASCII script input (mudela), with identifiers (for music reuse),
customizable notenames
MIDI to Mudela conversion through the mi2mu program.
Multiple staffs in one score. Each staff can have a different meters.
-Multiple voices within one staff; beams optionally shared between
-voices. Multiple scores within one input file. Each score is output
-to a different file.
+Multiple voices within one staff (up to four handled graciously);
+beams optionally shared between voices. Multiple scores within one
+input file. Each score is output to a different file.
Beams, slurs, chords, super/subscripts (accents and text),
general n-plet (triplet, quadruplets, etc.), lyrics, transposition
-dynamics (both absolute and hairpin style) clef changes, meter
+dynamics (both absolute and hairpin style), clef changes, meter
changes, cadenza-mode, key changes, repeat bars
-[Kudos to the FSF, all Linux hackers, and --of course-- especially
-GrandMaster Linus T, for The Kernel and The Announce :-]
+Integration with LaTeX through scripts.
