hi bridget
lilypond isn't a program with icons and menus and the rest, it's more
like a simple programming language.
you write lilypond files (text) with a text editor and the lilypond
'program' acts on the instructions that you write in that textfile,
resulting in printed music.
there's a tutorial available on the lilypond site - once you're a few
examples into it, things will seem clearer

Hello, I followed all the instructions, and have received the part
saying
%{
Welcome to LilyPond
===================
Congratulations, LilyPond has been installed successfully.
Now to take it for the first test run.
1. Save this LilyPond file on your desktop.
2. Pick it up from the desktop with your mouse pointer, drag and
drop
it onto the LilyPond icon.
3. LilyPond automatically produces a PDF file from the musical scale
below.
4. To print or view the result, click on the newly produced file
called
Welcome_to_LilyPond.PDF
That's it. For more information, visit http://lilypond.org .

\header{
title = "A scale in LilyPond"
}
\relative{

}
\version "2.10.0" % necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond
versions.
But, now I can't seem to get into the programme - I have all the
symbols on my
desktop, but none of them gets me any further than the above.
PLEASE HELP!!!
