Trevor,Thank you for your feedback. I have just posted a corrected version of the text, I hope it is now as it should be?
Indeed you are right, I am using Mac OS X and assumed - wrongly, I see - that opening a "LilyPond window" was the usual thing in all operating systems. Maybe the first sentence could be:
If you are using a Mac, open a new LilyPond window. If working with Linux ... Then write this inside: { c' d' e' f' g' a' b' c' ' }Now, if working on a Mac, save the file and then select "Typeset file" from the "Compile" Menu.
If on Linux ...I have no knowledge whatsoever about Linux, so maybe Pierre, or you, or any Linux user could complete the text where I put the "..." as well as any other necessary instructions for " invoking a lp compilation".

Manuel This looks pretty good. Others have commented on the spelling. My only comment is the first few sentences assume a particular OS and implementation which a beginner using MS XP and the standard Lilypond binary would find very perplexing. I'm not sure how to get round this, but perhaps a few words about text editors and ways of invoking a lp compilation would be useful.
