... umm, WHAT?!

Are you seriously claiming that you couldn't find the "Learning
Manual" link?  Top-left on the Documentation page?

1) go to lilypond.org
2) click on "documentation"
3) click on "documentation for 2.11"
4) click on "Learning manual"
5) click on "1.2 About the documentation" or "2. Tutorial"


If you can find the documentation, you can find the tutorial.  And
if you can't find the documentation... well, some programs can be
used without reading the docs; lilypond is not one of them.

2.12 will be released soon, and it contains all the latest docs.
