Operating lilypond is done through text files: To print a piece of
music, you enter the music in a file. When you run lilypond (normally
using the program ly2dvi) on that file, the program produces
another file which contains sheet music that you can print or view.
This tutorial starts with a small introduction to the LilyPond music language. After this first contact, we will show you how to run LilyPond to produce printed output; you should then be able to create your first sheets of music. The tutorial continues with more and more complex examples.
