-Font packages for \code{pdflatex} only provided a limited range of musical
-symbols.
+Most \LaTeX{} font packages and freely available fonts only provided a limited
+range of musical symbols.
The \code{lilyglyphs} package uses Lilypond's fonts, but requires
\code{lualatex}.
This package makes available the most commonly used symbols in writing about
-music in a way that can be used with \code{pdflatex} and looks consistent and

+music in a way that looks consistent and attractive.
+It is especially useful for \code{pdflatex} but also works alongside Unicode
+fonts with \code{xelatex}.
It includes accidentals, meters, notes of different rhythmic values, and
automatic formatting of figured bass.
@@ -46,6 +46,9 @@ This package builds on the approach used in the \code{harmony} package, where
the symbols are taken from the MusiXTeX fonts.
But it provides a larger range of symbols and a more flexible, user-friendly
interface written using \code{xparse}.
+The package is meant to work hand-in-hand with my \code{semantic-markup}
+package, and overrides some of its music-symbol commands with better
