Re: Windows install

[Mats Bengtsson]

The command prompt is the command prompt for the Cygwin system which is
like a mini-LINUX operating system running under Windows. LilyPond is
just one of all the available programs in your Cygwin installation.
However, if you read the instructions at
http://lilypond.org/web/download/windows.html
you will learn that you don't need the command window to run LilyPond,
just double click on the input file.

I hope you have realized that LilyPond is a program that works very
differently than most other programs you have experienced in Windows.
For example, it's one of these programs where you cannot expect to do
anything useful at all without reading the full tutorial.
