Abstract
Find out what lies at the intersection of music and programming with this brief look at LilyPond, the free programmable musical typesetter!

[LilyPond](http://lilypond.org/) is a musical typesetting program. While it aims to produce beautiful scores by default, its output is also extensively configurable and programmable. This makes it an attractive hobby for people at the intersection of programming and music, some of whom I hope to captivate with this talk.
