What about showing "... music notation for everyone" in a larger font
size, and adding a small cropped excerpt of Lily-generated picture of
music at the right of "LilyPond" title?  You proposed something similar
later in your talkative email, did you have in mind something like the

Would the music score cropped picture I propose to add be enough to show
this quality? (except the music piece itself, which I "randomly" took in
my Lily typesetting directories)
