Given the limited internet access, you should probably download all 3 
packages from the Lilypond website, and you can also get the 
documentation package in Spanish from the Manuals page on the same site. 
The whole thing would amount to 100Mb or so, and could easily go on a 
CD, thumb drive, or even your smartphone. I suggest the latest 
development build (2.19.36) for the features, but the Spanish version of 
the docs might be more or less out of date, so be cautious and make sure 
the school knows about the various mailing lists.

Kudos on the evangelism, too!


Cheers,
