Introduction
\end_layout
\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.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
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 an utility provided by the LilyPond project that helps
incorporate musical scores using the LilyPond notation into LaTeX documents,
among other formats.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
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.

Unfortunately, you might find that the preview isn't exactly instantaneous.
You need to move the cursor out of the Preview inset to start compilation,
and processing time can take a few seconds.
Nevertheless, the direct feedback is often worthwhile during editing, and
