+Introduction
+------------
 
-.. autofunction:: note2midi
+This document provides a reference guide. For documentation on how to
+install aubio, see :ref:`python-install`.
 
-.. autofunction:: midi2note
+Examples included in this guide and within the code are written assuming
+both `aubio` and `numpy`_ have been imported:
 
-.. autofunction:: freq2note
+.. code-block:: python
 
-.. autofunction:: note2freq
+    >>> import aubio
+    >>> import numpy as np
 
-.. slicing.py
+`Changed in 0.4.8` :  Prior to this version, almost no documentation was
+provided with the python module. This version adds documentation for some
+classes, including :class:`fvec`, :class:`cvec`, :class:`source`, and
+:class:`sink`.
