On

http://lilypond.org/web/download/#2.4

in the link 'Getting started'

one is redirected to

http://lilypond.org/web/download/getting-started.html

where test.ly ist mentioned as:


     \score { \notes { c4-(  c4-) } }

I had some problems installing Pedro's and Feri's packages (in the end I 
managed to apt-get those from Pedro), and so I mechanically just copied 
this test.ly. Obviously it did not work. Thankfully I use to read the 
user and devel list, so I soon remembered the syntax change, and got the 
right test.ly from

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Running-LilyPond-for-the-first-time.html#Running-LilyPond-for-the-first-time

Yet I think it is a mistake a newbie can easily do, because of the 
following text (in http://lilypond.org/web/download/#2.4)

When we have whetted your appetite for LilyPond, then this is the
  right page. Click the download links for the platform of your choice,
  and go onto Getting started.
