I had this problem, but worked my way through it. But I'm a programmer, and I wanted Cygwin, so I had ulterior motives. > - A few people who already have some other TeX installation on their > systems and have set some environment variables that conflict with > teTeX. => Hard to avoid, but this affects only a very small number of > users so it may confuse more people than it helps if we add some hint > in the documentation. I had this problem also -- it was a real bugger to work through. I had set up TeX as desired by WinEDT, which has a very nice TeX interface, but it wasn't using the same TeX as lilypond. I don't remember how I fixed it, but it took the better part of a weekend. > > Do you have any other TeX related problems in mind? Nope. I don't fault lilypond at all for its installation. I think it's really quite easy as long as you're willing to do the Cygwin thing (and I was). It's just not very much like installing a typical windows program. So Windows novices (rather than power users), especially those who have never used a command line interface (and there are a bunch of them), still won't find setting up and running lilypond to be a "familiar" task.
