Now I'm wondering... is there any chance this container could run
under Microsoft's Subsystem For Linux?

I'm planning to check this out, unless someone else already knows it
doesn't work.
Hi Karlin
I've just checked it out on a Windows 10 (build <16215) laptop.
lxrun installs an old LTS Ubuntu (14.10); while on Windows Store
there's Ubuntu 16.04, but you must have Windows build 16215 or later to
install Linux from the Store.
Installing Ubuntu was very easy.
But then you have to configure it in order to build LilyPond. I had to
add deb-src in sources-list, then apt-get build-dep lilypond, install a
few more packages and eventually I could build lilypond. I confirm that
it works.
It would be nice if we could add LilyDev to Windows Store.
But I don't think it's possible. It seems Linux images are provided by
Microsoft:

Anyway, if I used Windows, I would probably prefer WSL over any virtual
machine software.
