2.4.3 Overview of manuals
There is a lot of documentation for LilyPond. New users are sometimes confused about what part(s) they should read, and occasionally skip over reading vital portions.
Note: Please do not skip over important parts of the documentation. You will find it much harder to understand later sections.

- Before trying to write a complete piece of music: see Fundamental concepts of this manual. After that, you may want to look into relevant sections of the Notation Reference.
- Before trying to change the default output: see Tweaking output in this manual.
