hi bridget
lilypond isn't a program with icons and menus and the rest, it's more
like a simple programming language.
you write lilypond files (text) with a text editor and the lilypond
'program' acts on the instructions that you write in that textfile,
resulting in printed music.
there's a tutorial available on the lilypond site - once you're a few
examples into it, things will seem clearer
