So, would the following be a clear way to put it?


Chapter One.


If you are using a Mac, open a new LilyPond window.

If you are working with Linux open a new file in a plain txt editor  
(e.g. kwrite music.ly; music.ly; emacs music ly).

Then write this inside:


{ c'  d'  e'  f'  g'  a'  b'  c' ' }


With a Mac, save the file and then select "Typeset file" from the  
"Compile" menu.

In Linux, run "lilypond music.ly" at a shell prompt (not inside your  
vi or emacs session). Although emacs is a (plain text) editor, it is  
by no means a plain (text editor)!
