You could take the opportunity to install a VM running linux, and leave the problems of LilyPond on windows/macs behind. You never know—you might find other XP programs that you can wean off XP onto open-source software. I'm sure there are smart people who run linux at Oxford who could help. Many of the IT people where I used to work were running linux systems at home or work, and that's 20 years ago.¹ And I would assume that these people's day jobs involves helping students and staff with their accessibility battles against the grey on grey themes of so much current software. ¹ Personally, I avoided the university's macs and windows machines, preferring instead to acquire any number of their 3-yr old cast-off PCs (from administrators and secretaries) for running linux on my desk, in the lab, and at home. Cheers, David.
