 Introduction

 Our Goal
 --------

 LilyPond came about when two musicians wanted to go beyond the soulless
 look of computer-printed sheet music.  Musicians prefer reading
 beautiful music, so why couldn’t programmers write software to produce
 elegant printed parts?
 
    The result is a system which frees musicians from the details of
 layout, allowing them to focus on making music.  LilyPond works with
 them to create publication-quality parts, crafted in the best traditions
 of classical music engraving.
