Did you follow the instructions in the text file? There's no graphical
interface for this program. The text file tells you how you go about
creating a score with Lilypond.

Save the file by doing File>Save As>testfile.ly
Then choose Compile>Typeset File (my memory may be faulty here)

It's possible to do this from a terminal but requires some additional setup
on Mac. I suggest trying this method first.
