If what you're looking for is a way to make blank staff paper, I can tell 
you where to look. If you go to the lilypond website, follow the link at 
the top of the page, "Documentation" and a little way down on the first 
page is a link the the Lilypond Snippet Repository (LSR). If you go to the 
LSR, and do a search for blank staves (I just did a search for "blank" and 
it came up). This is an example that should work with the latest stable 
version of lilypond, though you may need to make some changes to the file 
if you want something different than what you see.

The LSR is a fine resource, and is a good place to start looking when 
you're trying to figure out how to do something.

Good luck,
