It depends on your desktop. GNOME and KDE are common; some people just use 
text consoles. I would say this: Open a new file in a plain text editor (e.g. 
kwrite music.ly; vi music.ly; emacs music.ly). For compiling the file, you 
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)!
