These windows are not part of LilyPond - they are merely the normal windows
which are used in your computer. That image shows a window in which files
are being edited, a window in which the pdf output is being displayed, and a
window in which the LilyPond program was executed.
There is no way in which you can see the pdf output appearing as you edit a
LilyPond file - you always have to edit, then compile and then view. But
there are a number of tools which facilitate this process. Search for
lilypondtool in the -user archives,
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/, for one (not sure if this
has been used in Vista though). Or you can use a highlighting editor like
ConTEXT which provides function keys which you can set to compile and view
LilyPond files (this is what I use). There may be others ...

Subject: Re: question about installation
Hi - thanks for your answers, Valentin & Trevor! Sorry for my additional
newbee-question: I can run the program indeed, but how do I get the
windows
as displayed on http://lilypond.org/web/install/getting-started.html? Till
now, I just can work in a text file, convert it into Lilypond and view the
result as a PDF. It would be easier to work and view instantly the result
in
another window.
I know all this must be basic for experienced users, but I'm just making
my
first steps in Lilypond...
Thanks, Luc

Greetings Luc,
don't worry, nobody's perfect :)

LilyPond does not need cygwin (anymore). Just download the Windows
version on http://lilypond.org/web/install/ (I recommend 2.11
version), and install it as you'd do with any other program.
By the way, from your name I suspect you might be French; in this case
you might be interested in knowing that there's a French-speaking
LilyPond mailing list on
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user-fr
Cheers,
Valentin
