[Carlos Garcia Suarez]

I am using version version 1.4.12

This is what happens

address@hidden ~$ lilypond-book -o=salida try
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lilypond-1.4.12-1/bin/lilypond-book", line 507, in ?
    newdict[k] = re.compile (olddict[k])

    raise error, v # invalid expression

"Lilypond-book" from the cygwin shell does not work.

Could you please specify what you mean by "does not work".
Exactly how did you write the command and what happened?

Also, don't forget to specify which version of Lilypond
you have installed. If I remember correctly there was some
silly bug in a previous Lilypond version for Windows.
