I often download music from CPDL and other places.
Sometimes, the music is available as LilyPad as well as midi & PDF.
I downloaded the LilyPad program so I could get music in a form
where I can transpose, extract parts etc., but I can't make it go!
When I click on "LilyPad" after a score I want, I get a bunch of
text. Is that normal? If so, then what?

Yes, this is normal. LilyPond uses a text-based input. The text file
is processed by LilyPond and outputs a PDF of the finished music. It is
possible to run LilyPond on *.ly files that you download, but be aware
that the input syntax changes as LilyPond evolves and older files may
not work correctly with newer versions of LilyPond.
