can't open lilypond

[Aksel Kjær]

I have downloaded LilyPond 1.6.11, Windows version. As far as I can see i have about 50 megabyte files on my hard-disk, but I can't reach the files. I have got the cygwin-icon on my desktop, but when I try to open it I get nothing but a black window. which I  furthermore cannot close the normal way.

I have tried to run the the program using

C:\cygwin\usr\share\lilypond1.6.11 but I only get a list concerning the files and no hint what to do next.

I have also tried to make a bug.txt file as it is suggested in the online manual, but nothing seems to happen.

I hope you'll be able to help me.

Yours sincerely
