Have you had a look on the tutorial on the lilypond-homepage? It helped me a 
lot...

So here are your desired notes. We have notenames (d, fis, g, ...) and rests 
(r) with your desired length (8 for an 1/8 note) The brackets (<<>>) combine 
your notes to a "chord".

AFAIK you only need this line for upgrades. It has nothing to do with your 
output.

If you remove that last line, what output do you get? For the rest I hope, I 
could clearify some things and hope you will read the tutorial carefully, as 
those things are IIRC mentioned.

Best regards and good luck Jan
