Hi When I was first learning lilypond I found most things confusing. After all I was coming from Finale. I also am a html/sgml docbook person and found the structure of lilypond confusing. But that was then, now it appears things have changed for the good, better docs, more logical structure, etc.
I need the simplest layout without includes, mutopia files are complicated. I can write a lilypond score thankyou no problem. I am just trying to create a template for my songbook without includes. That said, having used Lilypond for years I am most excited with the 2.5/2/6 versions, wow what a great job the Lilypond developers have done.
