Re: Any info on using LilyPond (and other cygwin apps) from the XP command line?

[Michiel Lange]

As to which group to ask, is hard to put a finger on in my opinion. It 
is one of the drawbacks of mailinglists... if you're following more than 
one, and especially if one or more generates quite a bit of traffic, it 
becomes hard to keep track. Pesonally I would prefer forums as opposed 
to mailing lists, altough forums have their own drawbacks... Maybe 
newsgroups would be a thing to consider?

Anyway, your questions regarding running lilypond:
It seems that your installation of cygwin or lilypond within cygwin did 
not run completely perfect. You could try to re-install cygwin and the 
lilypond package.
That will probably fix your problem.
