Frescobaldi just tries if 'lilypond.exe' (or 'lilypond-windows.exe',
which does not open a console window) can be found in the operating
system's PATH.

If not, you should open the preferences, select the 'lilypond' entry in
the list and click 'Edit'. There, specify the full path to the
lilypond-windows.exe program.

But in upcoming Frescobaldi 2.0.5 I have added some additional logic to
look for LilyPond in other locations, even if they are not in the PATH.
Currently "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin" is searched, and I can
add more (need to test current git on Windows with newer LilyPond
versions yet).
