All you do is type stuff, and run it through the program afterward.  
There's no windows or menus to get the feel of. If you don't go  
through the tutorial, you won't have a clue, unfortunately. It's not  
hard - just the tutorial is pretty much the only way to get there.

But you can go to http://www.mutopiaproject.org/ and see some  
examples. Make sure you get examples that were made with something  
close to the latest version of Lilypond - anything done by version  
1.x is definitely too old for use as an example of how to write  
Lilypond code now.

It's fun! Happy tutorial to you!
