If you search the mailing list archives (don't forget those for
lilypond-devel and user-lilypond) over the last 2-3 weeks, you will
notice that most of these issues have already been discussed and
"solved".

Please could someone reassure me that Lilypond 2.6 will still be available on Cygwin, even though there is now a native Windows version?

I've tried the Windows version, and I am sure some people will like it, but it's not for me:

1. There seems so be no feedback at the command line. If I am updating an existing file then the only way I can tell whether a run has completed is by watching Explorer to see when the time stamps are updated. 2. I can't find a way to run the .exe at the command line that will display help, e.g. a list of options. 3. If a run fails the report does not display on the command line, only via the log file opening in Lilypad.
4. convert-ly is still in Python so I have to run that in Cygwin anyway.
5. I generally run Lilypond from jEdit and I'm not sure if I can get jEdit to run the native version. 6. I use LaTeX on Cygwin and I want to integrate Lilypond files using lilypond-book 7. The native version seems to use the Windows fonts, rather than the Cygwin fonts that I use on LaTeX (in fact I have no idea how Pango relates to the Windows fonts)
8. bash is far superior to the Windows command line.
