+[From a posting in rec.music.classical.guitar]
+
+I started coding on Lilypond because I am fascinated by music and by
+typography.  I have never used any egngraving software, and do not
+feel the need to investigate other programs, for the simple reason
+that I have no need of typesetting music.  In fact, I almost never use
+Lilypond. I believe that the largest thing I ever entered was Bach's
+WTK-I fugue 2, two pages of piano music.  I entered it about 1.5 years
+ago.
+
+I am fascinated by this complicated problem, typesetting music with a
+computer.  And that is why I started writing Lilypond: purely for the
+hack value, for the fun of coding.  To me, music notation is like a
+giant puzzle. I have been coding on Lilypond and studying music
+notation in my spare time for the past three years.  Since this is my
+hobby, strictly spoken I have no obligations concerning Lily, neither
+moral, nor legal.  Of course, I am open to pleas and requests and
+often do respond to them, but I have the choice to ignore them, and
+occasionally I do.
+
+Lilypond tries to typeset music *automatically*.  We (*) try to put as
+much of our knowledge of music typography into the program as
+possible, and have as little typographical information in the input as
+possible.  Basically, you ought to be able to produce nicely printed
+scores with Lilypond without knowing anything about engraving.
+
+	footnote (*): We = me and Jan Nieuwenhuizen, who wrote about
+	30% of the code, and provided most of the examples.)
+
+A second important issue is that Lilypond is free. Not only in the
+sense that you can download Lilypond at no charge, but it is also free
+as in "free speech".  User are free to modify the program to suit
+their needs, and redistribute or sell the program.  Moreover, since
+the program can be downloaded at no cost, I don't gain anything if it
+gets more users.  And here I mean "use" as opposed to "use and
+enhance" or "use and give helpful comments".
+
+We have not made a program for professionals, and as a result, hackers
+have begun to use it.  Some of them have sent me modifications that
+improve the software.  This is good for us, because it helps us solve
+our puzzle more quickly.  We would have made the program useful for
+professionals like you, presumably they would start using it, be glad
+they didn't have to pay, and ignore me.  That would not help me solve
+my puzzle; I don't gain anything.
+
+The system has reached a point that it is useful for quite a lot of
+people (we get about 200 downloads per month from the main FTP site),
+and a lot of my users have thanked me for rescuing them from tedious
+typesetting work using Finale, Encore and what-have-you-more.  I have
+a user in Russia who tries make a living by typesetting a 260-page
+book on harmonic-theory using Lilypond.  I have a user that can
+typeset his own 45 page orchestral score.  Laymen have called our
+printout of the Bach Cello Suite 2 of "professional quality".
+
+This program is now useful to more people than a program solely aimed
+at professional use.
+
+Obviously, we're not finished yet, since the program still contains
+quite a lot bugs.  We know the examples on the website contain lots of
+errors.  Tweaking the input to fix up and hide the errors would cost
+us a lot of time. Time that is better spent improving the program
+itself. So, we don't hide the errors.
+
+Most of the errors that are shown on the website are not caused by our
+lack of knowledge, but rather by a lack of time and the sheer
+complexity of this big puzzle we're solving.
+
+In the end, we also want a system that is fully tweakable, so you can
+also produce professional quality typesetting.  But being
+straightforward to use for non-professionals is more important now.
+
+Finally, I would like to stress that my goals while programming on
+LilyPond are separate from my beliefs of what should be done with the
+program. I can not control what the program is used for, nor do I want
+to. People can typeset lullabies for their baby daughters or racist
+warsongs to help fascist leaders.
+
+A fortiori, I can not control what copyright users place on their
+input and output.  If you want to do commercial music editing (with
+LilyPond) you can publish scores on paper and keep the input and
+output to your self.  You can publish the score online, and keep the
+input to yourself.  You can put the input online as well, while
+forbidding modifications.  You can publish the input and allow
+modifications.
+
+This is all up to the user of the software, not to me.

+GNU LilyPond - The GNU Project Music Typesetter
+
+
+
+``WHAT IS GNU LilyPond?''
+
+Well Mike, GNU LilyPond is a program which converts music definition
+files into visual or auditive output: it can typeset formatted sheet
+music to a TeX file and (mechanical) performances to MIDI files.
+
+
+We have been working very hard on this system for the past year, and
+we finally think that it is ready to be used and hacked at by a larger
+public than us. 
+
+
+WHY ?
+
+We want to create tools to produce production quality scores and parts
+of public domain music.
+
+
+BUT ..
+
+We haven't yet reached that goal:
+
+* The quality of the output isn't good enough yet due to some
+unsophisticated algorithms
+
+* Some features haven't been implemented, due to lack of time; most of
+them can be done quite simply
+
+This is why we don't consider this software stable yet. It generally
+does what it is supposed to, but we reserve the right to make
+(incompatible) changes to the input format.  We consider it
+of BETA quality.
+
+
+WE WANT YOU!
+
+You can become a user, but we'd really appreciate it if you would start 
+hacking at Lily, and help us advance our project more quickly.
+
+
+``YES, IT IS FANTASTIC! WHAT DO I NEED?''
+
+For compilation you need
+
+	Unix. (windows32 is known to work, too)
+	GNU C++ v2.7 or better, with libg++ installed.
+	GNU make. 
+	Flex (2.5.1 or better). 
+	Bison. (1.25 or better)
+
+For running you need
+
+	TeX
+	MusiXTeX fonts
+
+The MusiXTeX fonts are part of the MusiXTeX package version T.73,
+available at any CTAN mirror, or http://www.gmd.de/Misc/Music/ 
+
+
+``WHAT CAN LILYPOND DO?''
+
+ASCII script input (mudela), with identifiers (for music reuse),
+customizable notenames.
+
+MIDI output lets you check if you have entered the correct notes.
+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 (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
+changes, cadenza-mode, key changes, repeat bars.
+
+Integration with LaTeX through Perl scripts.
+
+
+``WHERE CAN I FIND MORE INFO?''

+
+
+THANK YOU,
+
+Thanks go out to Mats Bengtsson, Werner Lemberg and Richard Stallman
+for comments and contributions.
+
+
+****	NOTE
+
+LilyPond might have a minor bug if  you use glibc-2; we will look into it
+If you use glibc-2, please try 0.1.0 to see if it works and, download 0.1.1
+when it's available.  
+
+LilyPond might exhibit a g++ bug on Solaris 1.5 (The stack frame gets corrupted
+by a constructor) if you compile with -O2. We don't know workarounds.  
+
+			      --- * ---
+
+    We would like to dedicate this program to all the friends that we
+			 met through music. 
+
+
+	Those deserving special mention (in no particular order):
+Esther, Marijke, Heike, Inge, Judith, Hannah, Auke, Ilse, Evelyn,
+Maartje, Suzanne, Ilse (gee, again?) and last (but certainly not least)
+Janneke!
+
+	HWN
+
+	That's a nice thought, Wendy.  I've got a few too, to spread
+the credits a bit (Again, no particular order) Michelle, Illushka, 
+Ruth, Eva, Fro/ydis, Monique, Noor, Sascha, Monique, Ilse, Monique, 
+Eva, Roos, Judith, Tim and, of course, Wendy!
+
+	JCN
+ 
+
+Of course, our other friends in the `Eindhovens Jongeren Ensemble'
+(http://www.stack.nl/~hanwen/eje.html) cannot go unmentioned either.

+
+
+WHAT IS LilyPond?
+
+LilyPond is the GNU Project music typesetter.  This program can print
+beautiful sheet music from a music definition file.  It can also play
+performances to a MIDI file.
+
+
+WHAT'S NEW SINCE VERSION 0.1?
+
+* LilyPond now includes a completely new music font: the Feta font.  
+  We were quite disappointed with available music fonts, so we rolled
+  our own.  We did our best to copy the best symbol designs available,
+  and we think that we've succeeded in doing so.  We're proud of the
+  result, and we hope you agree, so go check it out!
+
+* More elegant output due to 
+
+	* more sophisticated beam/slur formatting
+	* better spacing
+	* better line breaking
+	* better font design
+	* PostScript output for variable symbols
+
+* Lots of bugfixes
+
+* More robust, flexible and tweakable design
+
+* Better MIDI file importing
+
+* Easier to use due to better shell scripts and input format
+enhancements
+
+* MusixTeX is not needed anymore
+
+* Faster
+
+
+
+FEATURES
+
+* Multiple staffs, polyphonic music (more voices on one staff),
+Polymetric music.
+
+* Support for full orchestral score: Hara_kiri systems (lines with
+only rests are automatically skipped), multi-measure rests, bar
+numbering, brackets at the left.
+
+* Optimal beam slopes, slur/notehead collision resolution, dashed
+slurs. Formatting parameters are runtime tunable
+
+* Very beautiful symbols.  Variable size symbols generated on the fly
+as embedded postscript.
+
+* MIDI output
+
+* Optimal linebreaking, manual intervention possible.  Linelength is
+settable per line.
+
+* Readable yet very fast to type input language.  With configurable
+note names and identifiers.  Comes with an emacs-mode
+
+* With lots of examples (among others a fragment of Van Beethoven's
+Coriolan, J.S.Bach Cello Suite II, F. Schubert "Leise flehen meine
+Lieder")
+
+* Runs on UNIX and Windows-32.
+
+* Easy generation of titling.
+
+* WWW browsable documentation.
+
+* Support for Urtext: separation of modern and original interpretation.
+
+* Polyphonic music (with automatic collision resolution)
+
+* Spacing and collision resolution of accidentals and syllables is
+done automatically
+
+* Internationalisation support (Italian, Dutch)
+
+* Multiple font sizes within one piece
+
+* Integration with LaTeX and YODL

+(Oct / 99)
+
+* What is it?
+
+In short, LilyPond does for sheet music what (La)TeX does for printed
+text: the input describes the music you want printed, the program
+processes the input like a compiler, and the output file contains
+printed music.
+
+* Who would use it?
+
+People who want beautifully printed music, but don't have time to
+learn intricacies of music notation.
+
+ * Why would they use it instead of similar projects?
+
+Within the free software movement, LilyPond is unique: free music
+notation software is very scarce, and is either difficult to use,
+clumsy or does not give pretty results.
+
+ * Special features/strengths?
+
+Just like LaTeX, the input format is very abstract, and the output is
+very elegant.  Additionally, most aspects of the formatting can be
+adjusted to taste.
+
+LilyPond also allows very easy integration with TeX: you can write a
+paper that mixes fragments of notation with LaTeX.
+
+* Special problems?
+
+Music notation is very complicated. It is much more difficult than
+typesetting mathematics which is TeX's forte.  Almost everything in
+music notation is a "Special problem".
+
+Generally, the more modern the music is, the more problems it
+contains: classical and baroque music like Mozart and Bach should pose
+no problems for LilyPond. Romantic music like Brahms and Schumann will
+get printed but with some formatting errors.  Twentieth century music
+like Schoenberg and Bartok can be very difficult to typeset.
+
+Luckily for most, Pop-music is relatively uncomplicated: it should not
+be a problem to print that kind of music.
+
+* Who is working on it?
+
+Jan Nieuwenhuizen and me (Han-Wen Nienhuys) have written most of the
+core of the program, but the most elaborate example in the
+distribution (a 40 page orchestral score) was contributed by one of
+our long-time users.  He is a member of a small band of developers
+that contribute small patches.
+
+ * Plans for the close and distant future?
+
+The most concrete development plan for now is to use GUILE much more
+pervasively: LilyPond started out as a C++ program, with lots of
+formatting rules that were hard-wired into the system. We want to
+express those rules in Scheme, so that they can be changed at
+run-time.
+
+A much more interesting development is The Mutopia Project: it is a
+website where you can download sheet music that has passed into the
+public domain.  Just think of Project Gutenberg, but then for sheet
+music.  We hope that in the future you can just point your browser to
+Mutopia if you need classical music.
+
+The Mutopia website has not gone live yet, but you can preview some
+scores at http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/Mutopia/. What we need now is lots
+of help with entering sheet music.  If you like classical music, come
+out and help us!
+
+
+
+ * Interesting/fun stories that might juice up the story?
+
+Jan Nieuwenhuizen and me have been best friends for a some four years
+now. LilyPond development catalyses our friendship, and our friendship
+catalyses LilyPond development. We call each other a few times a week
+to discuss development, and the most revolutionary improvements in
+Lily have often been the result of a long nights of discussions on
+software design over glasses of Whisky
+
+Another question that pops up in outsiders is: ``what do aquatic
+flowers have to do with music typography?  Why the weird name?''
+
+I started Lily (our affectionate name for LilyPond) three years
+ago. Back then, I was in an amateur symphonic orchestra together with
+Jan.  I had a crush on this magnificent girl in the orchestra: her
+name was Suzanne, she played both the flute and the cello, and (of
+course) I thought she was very pretty.
+
+At the time, Jan was dating Roos (Dutch for `Rose' -- she also played
+the cello). I also knew about about a package Rosegarden (a GUI MIDI
+sequencer and notation editor).  When I found out that `Susan' is
+Hebrew for `lily', I decided that calling the package `LilyPond' would
+match make the nomenclature of the rest of my life perfectly.
+
+Some things don't last---the two girls, the cellos and the orchestra,
+all have disappeared from our lives.  LilyPond however has survived
+over time.  It is a big, mature program with a healthy user-base and
+good prospects.  Best of all is, that we still have a good time
+hacking on it
+
+
+* License?!
+
+GPL, of course.
