+# The `musicography` package: Symbols for Music Writing with `pdflatex`
+
+This package makes available the most commonly used symbols in writing about
+music in a way that can be used with `pdflatex` and looks consistent and
+attractive.
+It includes accidentals, meters, and notes of different rhythmic values.
+The package provides a flexible, user-friendly interface written using `xparse`.

+\begin{document}
+\maketitle
+
+Font packages for \code{pdflatex} 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
+attractive.
+It includes accidentals, meters, and notes of different rhythmic values.
+
+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}.
+
+\tableofcontents
+
+\section{Package Options}
+
+To use the package, write \verb|\usepackage{musicography}| in your preamble.
+If you are also using this author's \code{semantic-markup} package, load
+\code{semantic-markup} first, since \code{musicography} modifies the commands
+for accidentals in the other package.
+
+The \code{bigger} option provides larger font sizes that match better with
+certain fonts.
+
+The \verb|\musNumFont| command allows you to change the font of the numerals
+used.
+For example, if using the \code{ebgaramond} font package, it looks better if you
+do this:
+\begin{quote}
+ \verb|\renewcommand{\musNumFont}[1]{\liningnums{#1}}|.
+\end{quote}
+
+\section{Symbols and Commands}
+
+\subsection{Accidentals}
+
+\begin{codetable}
+ Flat & \verb|\musFlat| or \verb|\fl| & \musFlat\\
+ Sharp & \verb|\musSharp| or \verb|\sh| & \musSharp\\
+ Natural & \verb|\musNatural| or \verb|\na| & \musNatural\\
+ Double Flat & \verb|\musDoubleFlat| & \musDoubleFlat\\
+ Double Sharp & \verb|\musDoubleSharp| & \musDoubleSharp\\
+\end{codetable}
+
+\subsection{Notes of Different Rhythmic Values}
+
+Commands are available using modern (United States) note names; in several cases
+there are also aliases for older note names.
+
+\begin{codetable}
+ Whole note (semibreve) & \verb|\musWhole| or \verb|\musSemibreve| &
+ \musWhole\\
+ Half note (minim) & \verb|\musHalf| or \verb|\musMinim| & \musHalf\\
+ Quarter note (semiminim) & \verb|\musQuarter| or \verb|\musSeminimin| &
+ \musQuarter\\
+ Eighth note (corchea) & \verb|\musEighth| or \verb|\musCorchea| &
+ \musEighth\\
+ Sixteenth note & \verb|\musSixteenth| & \musSixteenth\\
+\end{codetable}
+
+A dot may be added to any of the above by adding \code{Dotted} to the end of the
+command. For example:
+
+\begin{codetable}
+ Dotted whole note & \verb|\musWholeDotted| & \musWholeDotted\\
+ Dotted quarter note & \verb|\musQuarterDotted| & \musQuarterDotted\\
+\end{codetable}
+
+\subsection{Meter Signatures}
+
+\begin{codetable}
+ Common duple & \verb|\meterC| & \meterC\\
+ \term{Alla breve} & \verb|\meterCutC| & \meterCutC\\
+ Ternary (16th--18th cent.) & \verb|\meterCThree| & \meterCThree\\
+ Ternary with $3:2$ proportion & \verb|\meterCThreeTwo| &
+ \meterCThreeTwo\\
+ Spanish 17th-cent. ternary & \verb|\meterCZ| & \meterCZ\\
+\end{codetable}
+
+\subsection{Customization}
+
+It would be a simple matter of using \verb|\newcommand| or \verb|\let| to create
+aliases for these commands, say, for British usage (such as \verb|\quaver|).
+
+\LaTeX{} programmers may wish to use the package's internal commands directly
+(such as \verb|\musSymbol| and \verb|\musAccidental|) to
+access more symbols from the fonts or to fine-tune their appearance (see the
+code listing below).
