Hi, I should put some instructions at the bottom of a score; I found at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/writing-text how to
write some text, but I wasn't able to find HOW to work with the text, how to
put it on the left or right or at the center of the page, how to make
spaces, how to displace the text vertically, how to make some lines bold or
italic; I've perused in the online and the pdf manuals with no success
(maybe in the guide to Lilypond notation from page 650 up, but it confused
me), nor how to insert a blank line in the example I found. It's not a
complex work, I just want to insert simple instructions for a child's song.
What I should be glad to find is a kind of tutorial about this. Anyone can
help? Thanks.

Where do you want to put this information?

If you want to enter a few sentences at the beginning of a piece, this is a minimal example:

\version "2.18.2"

\paper {
  markup-markup-spacing.minimum-distance = 10
  markup-system-spacing.minimum-distance = 12
}

\header {
  title = "song title"
}

\markup {
  \column {
    "Simple instructions for this song"
    "Another line"
  }
}

\score {
  \new Staff \relative c' { c4 }
}
