<h4 class="subsection">2.5.5 After the tutorial</h4>
<p>After finishing the tutorial, you should probably try writing a
piece or two. Start by adding notes to one of the
<a href="Templates.html#Templates">Templates</a>. If you need any notation that was not covered in
the tutorial, look at the Notation Reference, starting with
<a name="index-Musical-notation-171"></a><a href="../lilypond/Musical-notation.html#Musical-notation">Musical notation</a>. If you want to write for an instrument
ensemble that is not covered in the templates, take a look at
<a href="Extending-the-templates.html#Extending-the-templates">Extending the templates</a>.
<p>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.
<p>In this tutorial and in the rest of the Learning Manual, there is a
paragraph <strong>See also</strong> at the end of each section, which contains
cross-references to other sections: you should not follow these
cross-references at first reading; when you have read all of the
Learning Manual, you may want to read some sections again and follow
cross-references for further reading.
<p>If you have not done so already, <em>please</em> read <a href="About-the-documentation.html#About-the-documentation">About the documentation</a>. There is a lot of information about LilyPond, so
newcomers often do not know where they should look for help. If
you spend five minutes reading that section carefully, you might
save yourself hours of frustration looking in the wrong places!
