Ah, but you need to have LilyPond/usr/bin in your PATH, so that you

windows command line shell, but not from the graphical shell?

Any takers on how to fix that?

Hmm.  convert-ly is a python program, so it works with spaces in file
names on linux, so where could the problem be other if it's not in the
shell?
