In case anyone is wondering, LilyPond is FOSS music score production/transcribing software: http://lilypond.org/

Though if you do any of that you'll probably already know. :)

For such a long README, this utterly fails to explain or even link to what Lilypond is. I googled for a few pages, assuming that it wouldn't be related to http://lilypond.org (partially due to the differences in capitalization), only to find if I searched the README for "music" that it seems to be related. I'm still not sure why a music notation program needs a package manager.

pretty much anything that has packages ends up needing a package manager, and everyone seems to roll their own

FWIW lyp is the _only_ package manager for Lilypond.

Why wouldn't it?

Lilypond is basically LaTeX for music.

Lilypond differs from most other music notation programs in that it's basically a compiler of source files written in Lilypond (and Scheme) syntax. Lyp acts as a package manager in order to allow Lilypond users to share and reuse code.
