Brandon,
Welcome to lilypond!  You don't actually have a "main screen" for  
lilypond.  You use a text editor to create your lilypond files, then you  
use lilypond to render those text files as printed music.  Depending on  
your operating system, this process will be slightly different, and may  
involve using a terminal.  See the manual, <a  
href="http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Running-LilyPond-for-the-first-time.html#Running-LilyPond-for-the-first-time";>section  
2.2 Running Lilypond for the First Time</a>.  If you still have trouble,  
please reply to the list, but include the version of lilypond you use and  
your operating system, so that folks on the mailing list can help you  
better.  Good luck.

Kris
