Re: I'm new to lilypond

[Graham Percival]

I highly recommend reading the tutorial for 2.11.  Even though this is 
the unstable branch, the material in the new tutorial will apply to 2.10 
(or even 2.8 or 2.6), and the new tutorial explains many things much better.

As for the templates, isn't D.2.2 exactly what you want?

Cheers,
- Graham
