The result was

Etc etc for each .ly file in the folder
I have cd’d to the Lilypond usr\bin folder so I don’t think the three

Where did I go wrong?

Hi Peter,
Are you trying to run that code in a batch file or are you wanting to
use a one-liner via CMD? Syntax is different on Windows depending on if
the code is run within a BAT file or run via the command line direct.
I have a .bat file I run sometimes on Windows, maybe this could help you.
===================
@echo off
set LY_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr
for %%f in (%*) do (
echo Converting %%~nf...
if exist %%~nf.orig (
del %%~nf.orig
)
move %%f %%~nf.orig
"%LY_HOME%\bin\python.exe" "%LY_HOME%\bin\convert-ly.py" %%~nf.orig
> %%f
)
