Lilypond won't show up in the menu list because it's a command line
application -- you need to create your .ly files in a text editor and
then open up a terminal window and type

  lilypond file.ly

to compile the results into PDF and PostScript output.

Alternatively, if you just want to check that it's installed OK, open up
a terminal and type

  lilypond --version

which will tell you what version of LP you have installed.
