You may have been hit by a bug that causes problems if the
directory path of your file has spaces in it (such as
C:\Documents and settings\...). One solution is to wait
a day or so for version 2.2.2 of lilypond to appear on the
Cygwin mirrors (then you can just rerun setup.exe to get
the new version) or you could fix the problem yourself as
described in
