Hello all,
This patch tries to improve/update the welcome files that are shown to
the new user.

I have
- suggested a name to save the file with. This is necessary because
the save dialog of lilypad gets the default name lost.
- changed accordignly the name of the PDF to open.
- updated the syntax of the relative command in the minimal score
- encouraged the user to read the documentation
- changed the order of the version statement, it is used to put it
right at the beginning, I think. At the end where it was it seemed to
be optional, it *is* optional but highly recommended, so let's put
where it usually is.
