My objective is to use .abc text file with Chinese character lyrics as input so that I can obtain music sheet with Chinese lyrics printed / displayed. I search the internet, theere is a chinese.tcl a TCL script. I do not know TCL. I read from Lilypond web page that it is able to to display / print Chinese lyrics.
Thank you Tim and Mats. This will become a long learning process for me.
Ming.

Still, a normal installation on Windows leaves an icon on the desktop.
Also, if you
open a command prompt and run the command
lilypond-windows -dgui
then you should see the same thing as normally happens when you
double-click on the
LilyPond icon, namely that the very primitive text editor "LilyPad" is
opened with a
simple test example file.
No matter if you follow Tim's advice or use your existing
solution,
don't expect to be able
to do anything useful with the program until you have read the Tutorial
(i actually recommend
you to click on the Documentation link for version 2.11 even if you have
installed version 2.10
and click on the "Learning Manual" there, since it's been more or less
completely rewritten and
improved compared to the documentation for version 2.10).
