### 2.20 After the tutorial

After finishing the tutorial, you should probably try writing a piece or two. Start with one of the Example templates and add notes. If you need any notation that was not covered in the tutorial, look at the Notation Reference, starting with Basic notation. If you want to write for an instrument ensemble which is not covered in the Example 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 them 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.

This page is for LilyPond-2.8.8 (stable-branch).
