Hello,

D> "address@hidden ~$_"
This is normal, it's the information with which you logged
in Windows : [your address@hidden of your computer]
The tilde (~) means that you're in your home directory
(/cygwin/home/standard/), and the $ means it's a prompt. The
_ is the cursor.
If you want to get to your base directory (I suppose that's
were you have test.ly) type "cd ../..". I highly suggest you
read http://lilypond.com/wiki?TroubleshootingWindows to get
acquainted with the bash shell (and eventually change).
D> And after typing the instruction "ly2dvi -P test.ly"

D> "Bash: /usr/lilypond-1.4.5/wrappers/ly2dvi: bad interpreter: No such file

D> and nothing else happens.
I'm by no means an expert, so don't take my word for it, but
this looks as if the program that executes bash batch files
isn't installed (is that possible?). In which case, I
suggest you type the following (be careful of typos) :
python "$(cygpath -w ""/usr/lilypond-1.4.5/bin/ly2dvi.py"")" -P test.ly
It's the equivalent of what the file you were trying to call
does. It may be a bit long to remember, but do not forget
any ". I hope this works, and if it does, I wonder what's
happening...
