NAME
       lmms - software for easy	music production

SYNOPSIS
       lmms [global options...]	[action	[action	parameters...]]

DESCRIPTION
       LMMS  is	 a free	cross-platform alternative to commercial programs like

       of sounds, and arranging	of samples. You	can have fun with  your	 MIDI-
       keyboard	and much more; all in a	user-friendly and modern interface.

       LMMS features components	such as	a Song Editor, a Beat+Bassline Editor,
       a  Piano	Roll, an FX Mixer as well as many powerful instruments and ef-
       fects.
