In the final stage, music notation is output to PDF (via PostScript) or other graphical formats, such as SVG or PNG. It uses a simple text notation for music input, which LilyPond interprets and processes in a series of stages. It has a relatively large codebase as of March 10, 2017, the source includes over 600,000 lines of C++, 140,000 lines of Scheme, and 120,000 lines of Python code. LilyPond is mostly written in C++ and uses Scheme (interpreted by GNU Guile) as its extension language, allowing for user customization. LilyPond 2.0 was released on September 24, 2003, announcing a simplified syntax model and a much more complete set of facilities for notating various styles of music. LilyPond 1.0 was released on July 31, 1998, highlighting the development of a custom music font, Feta, and the complete separation of LilyPond from MusiXTeX. Its name was inspired both by the Rosegarden project and an acquaintance of Nienhuys and Nieuwenhuizen named Suzanne, a name that means lily in Hebrew ( שׁוֹשַׁנָּה). The LilyPond project was started in 1996 by Han-Wen Nienhuys and Jan Nieuwenhuizen, after they decided to abandon work on MPP ( MusiXTeX PreProcessor), a project they began collaborating on in 1995. 6.2 Integration into text using lilypond-book.
