Thanks for the advice. However, though double clicking lilypond-book.py does something in Windows, I still don't know how to process the files. Running
python c:/Progra~1/LilyPond/usr/bin/lilypond-book.py from Command prompt looks OK, but if I do python c:/Progra~1/LilyPond/usr/bin/lilypond-book.py test.lytex, then I get Path not found. lilypond-book.py (GNU LilyPond) 2.7.27 Reading C:\Documents and Settings\gost\Desktop\test.lytex... Running latex...lilypond-book.py: error: `latex' failed (signal 1) lilypond-book.py: error: The error log is as follows: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Progra~1\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-book.py", line 1692, in ? main () File "C:\Progra~1\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-book.py", line 1658, in main chunks = do_file (file) File "C:\Progra~1\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-book.py", line 1514, in do_file set_default_options (source) File "C:\Progra~1\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-book.py", line 683, in set_default_options textwidth = get_latex_textwidth (source) File "C:\Progra~1\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-book.py", line 1333, in get_latex_textwidth ly.system ('latex %s' % tmpfile) File "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilylib.py", line 296, in system sys.stderr.write (open (error_log_file).read ()) IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'tmpsoit1mlatex.errorlog' Of course, latex runs normally from the command prompt, so that should not be the problem. (BTW, I had to put "C:\Progra~1\Lilypond\usr\bin" at the end of my PATH variable to be able to execute python from command prompt.)
