Re: "no LilyPond output found for..."

[Mats Bengtsson]

First of all, I recommend to upgrade to the latest Lilypond version,
just rerun setup.exe (don't worry, it'll only upgrade the packages
that have been renewed since last time).

I think version 1.6.4 had a bug such that you had to add a
newline at the end of the file.
