Yes it really is, I like it, honestly.
But it is inappropriate for the purpose of having a page to notify the
user about that LilyPond just compiles and does nothing more. For this
purpose I would only show:
- The "compiling music" section.
- The screenshot of a dev environment (preferably LilyPondTool - next
release will even have a virtual piano keyboard for note entry: that
would calm scared users)
- And the first example of the "it's as simple as ABC" - no need to talk
about alterations, pop music, orchestral parts.
I almost would suggest to put this crash course on the home page via a
Flash animation: 4 slides:
- "LilyPond is different"
- "You type the notes as text" - (the site visitor can see the typing of
{ c c g g a a g }, like in LilyPondTool demos at
http://lilypondtool.organum.hu/126.html
- LilyPond creates beautiful score (some compile animation, then show
the score) - to not scare the user with \relative I wouldn't show that
in the second slide, because for the visitor we just want to give an
impression of writing score as text, and make it seem simple (as it is)
- Read the crash course - this would be a link to the detailed crash
course / or this could be link to the downloads

Ok. Though the crash course is too long. One would never read it to the bottom.
I'd say it is *excellent*.
Mmmmaybe a question of taste.
