Glad it worked.
Ironically, I'm having trouble getting it up on my new installation of
Linux Mint 9, but it probably has to do with permissions or some emacs
configuration or another. I had it going fine on Ubuntu 10.04, but I was
having trouble with that distro, so I'm searching for a stable Linux
distro that doesn't crash on my aging hardware.
Cheers,
David

Thanks, David - worked beautifully! Saved me a lot of time and
aggravation. I had tried searching the docs, but found only Linux
instructions. I also tried searching the list archives and found only
a thread I could not understand.

Hi Ralph,
Browse to the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application
Data\.emacs.d" or, if ".emacs.d" isn't already present, then
create a new directory with that name in "Application Data" Make
sure you change "User" in the path to whatever your actual user
account's name is.
In the ".emacs.d" directory, open (or create) a file called "init.el"
In that file, paste the following lines:
(setq load-path (append (list (expand-file-name "C:/Program
Files/LilyPond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp")) load-path))
(autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode" "LilyPond Editing Mode" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ily$" . LilyPond-mode))
(add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock)))
Make sure that in the section starting "(expand-file-name "C:/..."
points to the "site-lisp" folder in you LilyPond installation.
Save the file and try opening a *.ly file in Emacs.
BTW, I'm not a programmer and I have no experience with lisp. I
adapted this from some instructions I found online (possibly the
"Usage" section of the LilyPond docs) and extrapolated from what I
knew about the .emacs.d file in my UbuntuStudio installation,
which came with LilyPond pre-installed and had Emacs working with
lilypond-mode out of the box.
I hope this works for you.

Greetings -
I've been forced (temporarily, I hope) onto a WinXP Pro laptop.
I've successfully downloaded LilyPond 2.12.3.1 and Emacs 22.3. I
cannot figure out how to get Emacs to recognize (much less accept
as default for .ly files) lilypond-mode. If anyone out there has
successfully gotten Emacs to work with lilypond-mode on WinXP and
can explain the process to me, I would be grateful.
I appreciate your time and attention,
Ralph
