# Music in Plain Text
Jonathan Gregory
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 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 facilitates digital archiving and
distribution of musical scores. In this talk, I begin with an overview
of the LilyPond syntax and move on to showcase ways for producing
algorithmic compositions and music books using Make, Org and
LilyPond-mode.
