Now I'm wondering if I can apply the patch at
https://codereview.appspot.com/332990043 to my Windows binary file.
The patch is for .cc and .hh files, which to me says "C++ source code."
I think it would take a god-like understanding of compilers and EXE
files to "patch" a binary based on those. The expectation for binaries
is replacement, not modification.
To get that patch before another release comes out, expect to follow the
Contributor Guide for building LilyPond from source.

Those instructions are all presuming usage of LilyDev Linux in
VirtualBox. I gather you are working in Windows, and probably want to
stay there. But unless you are comfortable with getting all the
Linux-origin build tools and dependencies playing nice together on
Windows, that LilyDev is the way to go.
The Contributor Guide also has instructions for producing a Windows EXE
setup file, so it probably would be possible to get what you want from
that. But if I was trying it, there is an excellent chance that another
release would be out before I got it all working. :)
