I would also say the learning manual is the best starting point (after
the section about the text input, that you probably already know):
http://lilypond.org/text-input.html
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/learning/index.html

And I would suggest Frescobaldi as editor, as it gives you menus and
buttons to create your scores, which is particularly handy in the
beginning. E.g., you can select your voices and layout your score in a
dedicated wizard.
http://frescobaldi.org

I estimate that it needs some days of manual reading and writing of
simple examples to understand how it works. But that effort is really
worth it, because with some experience, the writing of the input text
will be much faster and the results more beautiful than anything else I
have seen.

Cheers,
Joram
