How do you start it? (Actually cygwin should be started with
c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat or bash --login)

Before you go into shock I would suggest reading the docs.

On Thu,
Hello! To whom it may concern:
I've downloaded/installed LilyPond for my Windows XP, but when I run the program, a window that looks like MS Dos comes up and says "bash-2.05b$"
Is this supposed to happen? Pleas let me know what I can do to get it working :)
Thanks,
Victoria

Hello all,
I am a newbie to Lilypond but so far have been having fun learning to
engrave music with it. I have searched the archive for this problem and have
not found an answer to it. Sorry if it has been covered.
The problem occurs when notating a melody that has repeated sections.

The syntax isn't much of a problem. You could define your own command:
nh = \notes {\once \property Thread.NoteHead \set #'style = #'harmonic }
and use it like '\nh c4'.
Also for the artificial harmonic it can be done, but you would have to

It seems that you Lilypond wasn't installed for some reason,
just the default Cygwin system. Try again to run the setup.exe
program and follow the instructions of

How do you open the window "BASH"?
When you install cygwin it creates an icon on the desktop, and maybe some
other place. Do you run it with that shortcut?

Hello,
I have installed Lilypond on my computer (Windows 98).
In the window "BASH", when I write 'lilypond test.ly', the answer is "BASH:
lilypond: command not found".
Thank you for your help.

IMHO LilyPond's lyrics engraving is not very good at all. This kind of lyric
hyphen is by design - but I don't understand why.. I think currently using
"no- stri dam- ni cau- sa" gives better results (and that kind of
hyphenation is more common).

One common way to typeset this is to use an extender line,
as you have done after cau-sa. It shouldn't be hard to
implement support for this alternative layout, for example
adding a property to LyricHyphen or LyricExtender. We already
have support for dashed lines in several other contexts.

Hello,
kpathsea.h (on FreeBSD) redefines getopt() in an incompatible manner.
you may ignore this warning, i compiled lilypond successfully ignoring
that.
However if you define -D__GNU_LIBRARY__ within CFLAGS, kpathsea.h
will define getopt() correctly.
Have a look at http://www.foo42.de/devel/lil

I'm typesetting a piece where the first syllable "dam" of one word "dam - ni"

Please try again using convert-ly from CVS. If you have problems,
post a small example. The example 1.8.2 source that Thorkil posted
