GNU LilyPond Learning Manual: 3.1 How LilyPond input files work

## 3.1 How LilyPond input files work

This section will explain some of this structure, but may gloss over some details in favor of simplicity. For a complete description of the input format, see File structure.

Other languages: français, español, deutsch.
