Background essay

We have an extensive essay describing computational aesthetics: the art of creating beauty with a computer.

This is interesting reading if you are interested in an in-depth discussion of our fundamental ideas. Due to its volume the essay is available as a "manual". If you would like to read it now, please progress to Essay. However, if you just want a quick introduction to LilyPond, you might skip it for now.
