For reference, what you are seeing is a line endings issue.  Windows' 
Notepad has always been famously and notoriously bad in this regard, as 
it only supports the carriage-return/line-feed (CRLF) combination for 
delimiting lines.  Lilypond comes from the *nix world that typically 
uses only a single line-feed, and all of the source files are written 
this way.  As such, it just looks like all of the lines run together.

Most modern text editors are more aware of cross-platform issues and 
alternate encodings, so they will detect line endings and render 
appropriately.  For example, Notepad++ [1] is a great choice on Windows, 
if you want a more featured but still relatively lightweight editor.  
And while Visual Studio Code [2] is my editor of choice these days, I 
still keep Notepad++ around as it is lightyears ahead of the ancient and 
decrepit Notepad.
