Failure to run Lilypond

[Chris Paradine]

I down-loaded Lilypond on to Windows XP a week or so ago but have been unable to get it to work. It will generate straight lines (the staff lines and the bar lines, and the vertical lines where the notes should be) but nothing else. I've looked at the Tex output and I cannot see anything that corresponds to the blobs for notes.   I've also run both under bash and as a direct Windows program and I get the same results. (Incidentally bash does not work properly on XP - I cannot execute built-in commands like DIR or COPY).   Any ideas as to what's wrong?   Chris Paradine
