1. Solution #1 (basic)
a) write a .ly file and save it somewhere, e.g.
/home/ronald/music/great-music.ly, which
in linux can be abbreviated to ~/music/great-music.ly (I remember searching for
a while
for an explanation of what '~' actually meant when I was new to linux; I
mean: how do you google something like that...?)
b) Open a console and cd to where you saved your file ("cd music")
c) process your file: lilypond great-music.ly
d) open your fine file with a pdf reader (e.g. xpdf great-music.pdf)
2. Solution #2 (simpler)
apt-get jedit, then install the lilypondTool in the plugins section.
