Manuel This looks pretty good. Others have commented on the spelling. My only comment is the first few sentences assume a particular OS and implementation which a beginner using MS XP and the standard Lilypond binary would find very perplexing. I'm not sure how to get round this, but perhaps a few words about text editors and ways of invoking a lp compilation would be useful.
