windows lilypond

[Anna and Ken]

I wrote you yesterday about missing dll files.  I have solved most of that, but 
I still have many problems.

I think that lilypond may well be the best music writing program to date, at 
any price.  I just wish we could get it working.

I have downloaded from your site and installed/reinstalled about 7 times now, 
so I know that's not the problem.

All files are on your site except the doc file right? I checked them against 
the list in the website.  And the doc file is not needed to make the program 
run?

On completion of cygwin installation I got a missing cygintl-1.dll error 
message.  I have no idea if, once this file is supplied, other missing dll 
errors will then be discovered.

When I run lilypond-bin.exe, I get a quickly closing window that just gives a 
quick intro. But it includes options like the ones listed on the 
gatting-started page in the website.

When I run a cygwin bash shell, it fails to recognize either "lilypond", or 
"help" as a valid command.

When I double click the "test.ly" file, or the file I made through the denemo 
front end, I get a little window that says "python not found".  Since python is 
in there, and running, I wonder if they mean something contained in the python 
folder within the lilypond folder.  This folder is empty.  Could the problem be 
as simple as a packaging error?

If it is a packaging error, I'd appreciate it if I could just get the missing 
file, or if you'd let me know when the package is fixed.  I'm saving all the 
files downloaded so far.  I really hope this this thing can be gotten to work.

As I said in my previous message, there can be no test.log file in the floder 
that holds the test.ly file, since that is not a folder, but a document.  If 
you mean that the file should be generated as the program is run, it never has 
been.

Thanks for whatever you can do.
