LilyPond is an extensible program for producing high-quality sheet
-music engraved with traditional layout rules. Similar to LaTeX and
-other typesetting programs, its input format simply describes the
-visual layout of the score using commands to define musical
-expressions. This makes collaboration easier, prevents users from
-having to adjust layout settings manually, and faciliates digital
-archiving and distribution of musical scores. In this talk, I begin
-by showcasing LilyPond syntax and mode using literate programming
-techniques as examples for building sheet music in Emacs, and proceed
-with an overview of the setup I use for producing music books with GNU
-Make, LilyPond, and LilyPond-mode.
