+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.
