+\begin_layout Standard
+LilyPond is an open-source project that renders possible the creation of
+ beautiful computer-generated musical scores.
+ The project consists of a text-based music notation language, and a program
+ to process this notation into musical scores.

+While LilyPond itself supports the display of title, author information,
+ footnotes, endnotes, etc., its primary focus is on music typesetting.
+ For text typesetting, other programs are generally better suited.
+ LilyPond-book is a utility provided by the LilyPond project that helps
+ incorporate musical scores using the LilyPond notation into LaTeX documents,
+ among other formats.

+This document describes the use of the LilyPond music notation within LyX
+ documents that use a LaTeX-based layout, thus combining the beauty and
+ quality of the typesetting achieved by both LaTeX and LilyPond.
+ While a basic understanding of the LilyPond syntax for music notation is
+ in order, knowledge of LaTeX is not necessary when using LyX.
