1.4.3 Overview of manuals
There is a lot of documentation for LilyPond. New users are sometimes confused about what part(s) they should read, and occasionally skip over reading vital portions.
Note: Please do not skip over important parts of the documentation. You will find it much harder to understand later sections.
- Before trying to do anything: read the Learning manual’s Tutorial, and Common notation. If you encounter musical terms which you do not recognize, please look them up in the Glossary.
- Before trying to write a complete piece of music: read the Learning manual’s Fundamental concepts. After that, you may want to look in relevant sections of the Notation reference.
- Before trying to change the default output: read the Learning manual’s Tweaking output.
- Before undertaking a large project: read the Usage document’s Suggestions for writing files.
