2.5.5 After the tutorial

FIXME: rewrite slightly after the rest of the LM has been stabilized. Translators, ignore this section for now.

After finishing the tutorial, you should probably try writing a piece or two. Start by adding notes to one of the Templates. If you need any notation that was not covered in the tutorial, look at the Notation Reference, starting with Musical notation. If you want to write for an instrument ensemble that is not covered in the templates, take a look at Extending the templates.

Once you have written a few short pieces, read the rest of the Learning Manual (chapters 3-5). There's nothing wrong with reading it now, of course! However, the rest of the Learning Manual assumes that you are familiar with LilyPond input. You may wish to skim these chapters right now, and come back to them after you have more experience.
