Trevor,
Thank you for your feedback. I have just posted a corrected version
of the text, I hope it is now as it should be?
Indeed you are right, I am using Mac OS X and assumed - wrongly, I
see - that opening a "LilyPond window" was the usual thing in all
operating systems. Maybe the first sentence could be:
If you are using a Mac, open a new LilyPond window.
If working with Linux ...
Then write this inside:
{ c' d' e' f' g' a' b' c' ' }
Now, if working on a Mac, save the file and then select "Typeset
file" from the "Compile" Menu.
If on Linux ...
I have no knowledge whatsoever about Linux, so maybe Pierre, or you,
or any Linux user could complete the text where I put the "..." as
well as any other necessary instructions for " invoking a lp
compilation".
What happens with Windows?

This looks pretty good. Others have commented on the
spelling. My only comment is the first few sentences assume
a particular OS and implementation which a beginner using MS
XP and the standard Lilypond binary would find very
perplexing. I'm not sure how to get round this, but perhaps
a few words about text editors and ways of invoking a lp
compilation would be useful.

Open a new LilyPond window and write this inside:
{ c' d' e' f' g' a' b' c' ' }
Save the file and then select "Typeset file" from
the "Compile" menu.
A small window will open, where you can follow
the proceedings, and
then a ".pdf" document will appear, with this result:

It is a little C-major scale. Let us consider it:
