New issue 1730 by [email protected]: Documentation for lilypond-windows.exe and -dgui option
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1730

I suggest words along these lines be added to the command line summary in usage. (FWIW I've now found the -dgui option as help on the -d option - run lilypond -dhelp and it's documented, but this command seems suffiently important to document in its own right).

"Here are a few interesting options.

'gui' Runs LilyPond silently and redirect its progress and error output to a log file."

Somewhere near, could we also have something like this:

"Windows users will see that there are two versions of the lilypond program on their machine - lilypond.exe and lilypond-windows.exe. By default lilypond.exe outputs progress information to the command line. Lilypond-windows.exe returns to the command line immediately and outputs no progress information at all. The -dgui option can be used to direct output to a log file."
