Thank you, on behalf of the LilyPond team. Be very careful with the
terms you use: LilyPond is technically a _freeware_ but a Free
Software: it is both "gratuit" and "libre", which are two very
different notions.

There's actually a somewhat large French Lilypond community, with a
dedicated mailing list in French: see
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user-fr

And perhaps you would be interested in reading an interview with John
Mandereau, who founded this mailing list and initiated the translation
of the docs:
