??? Now I'm confused. The command lilypond gives you a .tex file
which doesn't contain any \usepackage commands at all.
Are you refering to the file in the directory ly2dvi.dir/ that
ly2dvi -k produces?

What tetex packages did you install (look in /etc/setup/ in
the cygwin directory tree)? The inputenc package is included
both in the tetex-tiny and the full tetex-base package.

I don't think the page size is wrong, it's the placement of the music
on the page. I think this has been solved in version 1.6.6, which
unfortunately is not available yet in Cygwin.

Not at all! Just run ly2dvi with the flag -k, go to the directory
ly2dvi.dir/, edit the latex wrapper file XXX.latex and run
latex XXX.latex.
Personally, I prefer to use lilypond-book in all these situations where
I want to change the default LaTeX wrapper given by ly2dvi.
