Congratulations, LilyPond has been installed successfully.

LilyPond is not a program like the others: you do not have to
use your mouse to create a score, but *only* your keyboard!

First create a file, like this one, with some special code in it;
then LilyPond will read it and convert it into a beautiful score.

In this window, you can see an additional toolbar just below
the traditional "Open, Save, etc" toolbar: this is a special
LilyPond-dedicated plugin that is called LilyPondTool.

Just click on the second icon starting from the right, wait a
few seconds and open your whole new PDF score: that's it!

(The PDF file will be written in the same folder than the source file;
a quick and convenient way to preview it is to use the LilyPondTool
"Preview Output" menu.)

Ready? Let's dive into the Lily Pond!
%}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

%{
This "orange" text placed between %{ and % } is a "comment". It will
not be taken into account when LilyPond will compile the file.
%}

%{
	[ Write a comment of yours here... ]
%}

% similarly, every line that begins with a % will be regarded as a comment.

%  [ Write a one-line comment of yours here... ]

% Every command, or block name, is introduced by the \ character.

% Let's start by specifying what language we want to use:

\include "english.ly"

%{
We could as well use "italiano.ly" to have "do re mi" notes, or a dozen
of other specific notenames...
%}

% In LilyPond, files are structured into "blocks" surrounded by 
% curly braces { }.  This is the "header" block, that is useful for
% adding titles and such:

\header{
  title = "A scale in LilyPond"
  composer = " [ Add your name here... ] "
}

%{
As you can see, you will use the Alt-Gr key very often when typing
a LilyPond score: the curly braces are obtained with AltGr+4 and AltGr+8,
and the backslash character (AltGr+8).
%}

% Now for the music itself.  It is introduced by the \relative keyword,
% which means that each pitch will be specified relatively to the previous one.

\relative{
  c d e f g a b c
}

% Notice that the last "c" will be one octave higher than the first one.
% Hadn't we used "relative" mode, the two pitches would be the same.


% Finally, a good habit: always specify the LilyPond version you used.
\version "2.11.0"  % it's necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond versions.

% Et Voilà !
