I've run the zip mingw from today (21st) and it is quite close to
working.
The Playback View is created but as LilyPond generates a MIDI file
with .mid extension rather than .midi the associated MIDI doesn't get
loaded which causes a crash if you try and play. I've fixed this in git.
For testing the current zip though I copied the files from .midi to .mid
and then it played the MIDI ok. The Playback Play/Stop button
successfully does a performance with repeats.
Clicking in the Playback view locates the notes and plays from the notes
etc.

There are two outstanding problems
      * The GtkScrolledWindow widget is not working, there are no scroll
        bars and a slew of warnings about them
      * The rsvg loader is still painting the score in the same color as
        the background so it can't be seen (even though you can see the
        highlighting of the note heads as it plays).

I see that the first of these is also affecting the Score Properties
Editor and the Staff Properties Editor - the Print View also uses scroll
bars but I suspect I explicitly created the scroll bars. So I can work
around this bug by using the longer form of the code.
It's going to be pretty hard going to fix the pixbuf loading problem - I
am having trouble getting gdb to make the calls that would enable me to
test out loading various SVG files.
