If you use LilyPond, you are a programmer. LilyPond is a programming language*.

It has sequences, loops, nested structures, variables.

It follows a syntax and gives you a result. Do not follow the syntax
and your output will be faulty or inexistent.

Young starters say: "I've heard about MS-DOS before" :-)
