Hi,

LilyPond has no graphical user interface (as other well-known
scorewriters have), which can be surprising.
It uses text files to produce PDFs, thanks to a specific syntax.
You can learn this in the introductive crash course :
http://lilypond.org/switch/howto
and more in the Learning Manual :
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/index

I would also suggest you to use a dedicated LilyPond text editor, such
as jEdit + the feature-rich plugin LilyPondTool :
http://www.jedit.org/
http://lilypondtool.organum.hu/
It permits to see the text file and result in the same time, thanks to
a built-in PDF viewer (and other "making things easier" features).

But you really need to learn LilyPond syntax.  ;-)

Sincerely,
Xavier
