+     "Abjad helps composers build up complex pieces of music notation in iterative
+and incremental ways.  Use Abjad to create a symbolic representation of all the notes,
+rests, chords, tuplets, beams and slurs in any score.  Because Abjad extends the Python
+programming language, you can use Abjad to make systematic changes to music as you work.
+Because Abjad wraps the LilyPond music notation package, you can use Abjad to control the
+typographic detail of symbols on the page.")
