I think you and I have a different idea of `macro'. The problem with TeX, m4, YODL and metafont is that they are syntax oriented and not function oriented. I'm too busy to formalise exactly what I mean, but maybe this example explains what I mean \def\foo{20} \def\bar{20}

Actually, there seem to be two workarounds: 1) use the lilypond-profile that comes with building from 1.6.2 source on Linux (this creates the TEXMF variable among other things) 2) use -P as you said, then convert separately to PDF. So, perhaps the cygwin installation needs to have those startup
