In your previous email, you didn't even say that you got the error "command not found", which made if very hard to provide any constructive help. It seems that you have not managed to install the lilypond package. Please rerun setup.exe and make sure to follow the instructions at http://lilypond.org/web/download/windows.html when you reach the "Select Packages" page of the installation procedure. If you run it today, the line for the lilypond package should say 2.2.5-1 in the column marked New, (or in the column marked Current if you already have the program installed, in that case, I would recommend to select "Reinstall" under New).
However, it seems that you also have some general cygwin problem, since your home directory wasn't created. You might get such problems if you have set some environment variables in Windows, especially if you have set $HOME. For general questions on cygwin, I really recommend the information and mailing lists at www.cygin.com, but since LilyPond is the reason you installed cygwin in the first place, you could also try to use the competence if the current mailing list.

What happens if you - copy your test.ly file into C:\cygwin\home\<your login name>\ - Click on the Cygwin icon to get a bash prompt - Run the command lilypond test.ly - If you get a test.pdf in your C:\cygwin\home\<your login name>\ try to view it.
Please followup to the mailing list.

Same thing happens... tho there was no \home directory so i created it soHello,
its now C:\cygwin\home\David\test.ly and still i get nothing... im sure im
missing something simple but who knows...
with that amount of information it seems quite impossible to give you any
reasonable help.
Normally a home directory is created by cygwin, so there _could_ have been
some problem during the installation of cygwin, but who knows?
Second: What have you _done_ (i.e. typed into the keyboard) and what response
did you get?
"I get nothing" is very vague, and I don't believe that.
Maybe you just don't know that lilypond is a tool, which is usually called in
a shell, like Mats suggested you to do.
Honestly, I don't believe that. Otherwise you would try hard to make it easyany help would be greatly appreciated thank you
for us to have any idea what the problem might be.
