Mats- Alas, with all the recommendations to use the latest version
especially with the better/easier .exe for windows I never did get the
Cygwin version to work and deleted it almost immediately.
So I guess the question becomes will the easier .exe for 2.6x contain
abc2ly and midi2ly?
Hope so.

It seems that the developers are still working to sort out these
issues. As long as you use the installation of version 2.4 using
Cygwin, all these programs are available and working and can be
called from the Cygwin command prompt.

Mats- that's very interesting.
What I can't see/find in the archives, or maybe just don't understand
is how to acquire
abc2ly or the midi2ly or python for that matter.
Also when the instruction say invoke-
I know where and how to do that in linux but am a bit uncertain as to
how to go about that in XP-
Does it mean that the program is already part of lily and that I need
to run it from a command line?

The LilyPond distribution does indeed contain a program called
abc2ly, see the section on "Converting from other formats in the
LilyPond manual.
However, if you use the new installation package for Windows, there
are some extra tricks needed to run the extra programs like convert-ly
and abc2ly, since they rely on the program Python that isn't included
in the installation (at least as far as I know) see the mailing list
archives for more information.

If you know anything about abc files? It's a system mostly for
trad (read folk) music usually single line though it is more
flexible than that. Anyway the 'programing' is similar, rather
simple and then you just need a program to translate it to notation.
Again similar to the convert.ly part of lily except lily doesn't
read abc files.
Tabledit does and it's something else that you could be familar
with as it is both a notation/guitar program and does some of what
lily does too.
