I use lilypond-book under Windows, but only for compiling sections
of the documentation.  It works fine for me, even 2.19.3.  I don't use
Latex at all.

Well, by "fine" I mean it does what I need.  The opening preamble which
attempts to determine some line width fails, but it has failed in the same
way for ages, since Graham's workaround for the problem David 
mentions - 1933.
