Brandon,
Welcome to lilypond! You don't actually have a "main screen" for
lilypond. You use a text editor to create your lilypond files, then you
use lilypond to render those text files as printed music. Depending on
your operating system, this process will be slightly different, and may
involve using a terminal. See the manual, <a
href="http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Running-LilyPond-for-the-first-time.html#Running-LilyPond-for-the-first-time">section
2.2 Running Lilypond for the First Time</a>. If you still have trouble,
please reply to the list, but include the version of lilypond you use and
your operating system, so that folks on the mailing list can help you
better. Good luck.
Kris

I used LilyPond and all that is showing up is a document that tells me
steps to get LilyPond working. I followed those steps and nothing
happened. I spent about fifteen minutes trying to get to the main
screen for LilyPond so I could start writing music. If you can, could
you help me find out how to get to where I'm looking for? Thank you.
