Jan,
Wow! I am positively amazed. If I could buy you a drink right now, I
would. This puts LilyPond miles ahead in terms of being able to spread
to Windows users. It worked for me with no problems whatsoever,
including the recognition of fonts in my Windows font folder. The only
inconsistency I noted was that sometimes after generating a PDF, LilyPad
opened up with the log file, but sometimes the PDF was silently
generated and no log file LilyPad window popped up.
Nevertheless, I am hugely excited, and the process for me was very quick
and easy. Thank you!

The past weeks I've spent my lily development time on a mingw port and
installer for windows. I'm sure this is far from perfect, but I do
not want to hold it back any longer.
The installer is not directly aimed at Cygwin/unix gurus, but rather
meant for people who just want to use LilyPond. The plan is that
after downloading and running the 12MB setup.exe, everything just
works, including point and click. The only additional software needed
is a PDF reader like Adobe Acrobat.
Download from
http://lilypond.org/mingw/setup.exe
send success reports, bug reports, and patches here.
I'm especially interested in information about using and integrating
editors like [nt]emacs or jEdit, and usage with Cygwin.
Jan.
