Hi, I'm hoping this is a basic question with an easy answer:

I'd like to make some web pages with simple musical examples. I've studied the relevant manual pages, but there seems to be some basic information taken for granted in the explanations. 

I put the example code from the manual into an html page in my text editor (BBEdit),

<lilypond fragment relative=2>

\key c \minor c4 es g2

</lilypond>

You have to run lilypond-book first on your document.

In the terminal:

lilypond-book foo.html

where foo.html is your document.

It will produce a new document in which the snippets appear correctly.
