Greetings, my guess is that LilyPond has actually been successfully installed on your computer, but it may not do what you'd expect: LilyPond is a very specific non-graphical software, that does not open any window, that doesn't have any button or menu. All it does (and it does it very well) is take a text file written in a special code, and turn it into a PDF music score. These text files must be saved with the .ly extension, and written using a very simple syntax that describes the content of your music. Please have a look at some examples in our tutorial: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Tutorial I hope you'll find that LilyPond is both easy to use and incredibly powerful.
