Learning Music

[Eric Beaty]

I've recently been studying how to read music though I've played music by ear
for many years.  I downloaded LilyPond but I need a way to test/hear what I've
created to make sure I'm writing it correctly.  Unfortunately, the free
graphical interface programs you list are for Linux only and I used WindowsXP. 
I would prefer a free graphical interface and thought about using PowerTabs, but
I want the music only without the tab so I can learn to read music by itself. 
Is there a way to copy and paste the pdf of the LilyPond music score into some
time of software that would give me an accurate playback of what I've written is
my question.
