In Windows emacs there is a file c:\emacs\site-lisp\default.el where I put
the all-user startup code.

'compile-internal' (which is called by 'lilypond-command') starts by doing a
cd to the directory of the .ly file.  We don't need an absolute file name
here so should get away with

(defun LilyPond-master-file () (buffer-name))

I have tried this and get './xxx.ly', which should work in windows and unix.

I can't find an 'on-cygwin-p' function in my emacs.
