Try downloading the doc tarball instead (stable: 
http://www.lilypond.org/download/binaries/documentation/lilypond-2.18.2-1.documentation.tar.bz2;
 unstable: 
http://www.lilypond.org/download/binaries/documentation/lilypond-2.19.3-1.documentation.tar.bz2).
 Extract, extract again, open ~/share/doc/lilypond/html/index.html and navigate 
just like you would on the website. It's a lot more data to download, and it'll 
take a few minutes to extract, but it's probably the simplest way to do what 
you're asking (I won't say it's the only way since I don't know that it is).
