Re: question about installation

These windows are not part of LilyPond - they are merely the normal windows 
which are used in your computer.  That image shows a window in which files 
are being edited, a window in which the pdf output is being displayed, and a 
window in which the LilyPond program was executed.

There is no way in which you can see the pdf output appearing as you edit a 
LilyPond file - you always have to edit, then compile and then view.  But 
there are a number of tools which facilitate this process.  Search for 
lilypondtool in the -user archives, 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/, for one (not sure if this 
has been used in Vista though).  Or you can use a highlighting editor like 
ConTEXT which provides function keys which you can set to compile and view 
LilyPond files (this is what I use).  There may be others ...
