I tend to use TeXworks, so will tcsh be necessary? If so, will I need always to switch shells for Cygwin, or set tcsh as default?
tcsh is only necessary to use the Linux or Mac TeXworks scripts because that's the language they are written in. If tcsh isn't installed on the machine, then the computer won't be able to understand the scripts. However, there is no need to switch your default shell as the first line in each script tells the computer what kind of script it is. So long as the appropriate shell scripting language is installed, the computer will then automatically load and run the correct shell.
The Windows scripts are different because Windows doesn't come with many options for shell scripting. There's the original command line which understands batch scripts and a newer PowerShell which is supposed to be more robust and feature rich. While PowerShell has been a standard part of Windows since Windows 7 and versions of it are available for XP onwards, I've not used it before and so choose to program the Windows specific scripts as batch files instead.
I had installed gregorio a few ways, but now I've deleted all of them and redone the Cygwin version, as I think I can manage with it. Again, the .bat files simply are not in the installation. Somehow I managed to find a gregorio.bat file in my User folder, so I loaded that into TeXworks and it all works. I still don't have the greg-book.bat or greg-lily-book files.
The greg-book.bat file should be in */contrib/TeXworks/windows/ where "*" is the folder to which you downloaded the Gregorio source code. If you installed under Cygwin, then this is probably buried in the Cygwin folder tree.
There is no greg-lily-book.bat file for Windows because lilypond-book didn't work on Windows. It's been a while since I tried it though.
