I have seen your cheat sheet before and it is a very good help and
introduction to LilyPond. (I haven't found the pdf before, and with your
first link I get a 404 error.)

I am impressed, that it is done with LaTeX! That makes it easier to
update, but definitely needs some extra layout skills, that I
don't have in LaTeX.

You're right that the two are complementing each other. I hope that
LilyPond will attract many new users and hopefully our cheat sheets will
be helpful to them (as they are for me).

Cheers,
