No, it's all on the same computer. Lilypond is installed on a partitioned drive: D:\Music\Lilypond I work on my current lilypond files at this same location, using notepad and then drag-and-dropping them to the shortcut inside the lilypond folder. This used to work on my old OS I'm pretty sure, but after changing to Windows7 I get the 'cannot write file' error and nothing compiles. Strangely, once the shortcut is moved to the desktop (C:\Users\Daisy\Desktop), it works perfectly - even though the program itself is on the D drive. There's probably some instructions somewhere that say that the shortcut MUST be on the desktop - it's just a bit weird as it seems to be only Windows7 that creates this behaviour. Anyway, I'm happy working with current files on the desktop before I file them away on D: so thanks for the help all.
