Bodo -
Don't know why it doesn't work for you.
Maybe if you post the error message file, someone will help.

Subject: AW: how to engrave arrow over notehead?
Hi Bruce,
Thanks for this. Unfortunately it doesn't generate a .pdf for me. I'm
running lilypond 2.7.3 on windows. I also tried the cygwin version, but that
is too old to run this file. Any suggestions?
Cheers,
Bodo
