LilyPond on Cygwin is not experimental at all; until Lily 2.6, it was the only way to run LilyPond on Windows. getting-started has not been updated since then. Looking the very recent update from Han-Wen, installation instructions no more lives in getting-started, but in the tutorial. > Editors: > It might be nice to put a page for the user, what frontends and > editors she can find, and it would be good to link it to the > install.html page right on the top.

On the other hand, the route designed by Jan & Han-Wen is clearly Home -> Diving into the LilyPond -> pages in switch/, ending with howto -> download page -> getting-started. Adding a link doesn't hurt, though.
