Mats -
You state: "The initialization of LilyPond is done in a number of files that
are included as soon as you start the program. Nothing that you have to
bother about."
I would like to know what files are included. They contain default settings
-- often useful and more reliably correct that the reference document.
Certainly in correct form.
Is there a place I can stuff stuff so that it is included by default
independent of the current working directory?

Are you listening? Mats' information on \include should find a place in the
documentation.

Exactly, that's the only situation where the path of the file is included in
the LaTeX code.

The initialization of LilyPond is done in a number of files that are
included as soon as you start the program. Nothing that you have to bother
about.

By default, the files are only searched in the current working directory.
You can add search directories with the flag -I to the lilypond command.

The line
\include "file.ly"
is completely equivalent to pasting the contents of file.ly into the current
file at the line where you have the \include.

Since you run the Cygwin version, you should always use the UNIX convention,
see the Cygwin documentation or any UNIX introduction.
If you install version 2.6, which doesn't require Cygwin, my guess is that
it's still best to use UNIX style, but you'd better try it out yourself.
