Re: question!

First of all, there is normally no reason to run the lilypond
command from the command line in Cygwin, you can simply double-click
on the .ly file in Windows, as described on the downloads web page.

If you still want to run from the command line, you just have to know
that the Cygwin command prompt brings you to your cygwin home folder,
which is located at C:\cygwin\home\<yourloginname>\, so either you
move the file to that folder or change working directory. For more
information on Cygwin, see www.cygwin.com or any introductory text
on UNIX/LINUX.
