For Alternative 1, you should not include the name of the program, just the
path to it, but it does not work for me. Alternative 2 does work. I am using
an XP PC.

More general, how do you add a flag to the LilyPond command
in Windows?
I have just installed the Windows version myself for the first
time, but so far I have come with the following two alternatives.
Maybe someone has a better answer.
Alternative 1:
- Add C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe
to the PATH environment variable (Right-click My Computer -> Properties
-> Advanced -> Environment Variables on Windows XP)
- Open a command prompt, change to the directory where you have
your file.
- run the lilypond command as described in the manual, i.e.
lilypond --png myfile.ly
in this particular case
Alternative 2:
- Right-click on the "LilyPond" icon on the desktop" -> Properties
-> Shortcut
In the Target: field, add "--png" after the "...\lilypond.exe",
i.e. something like:
"C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe" "--png"
- Drag and drop your .ly file to the LilyPond icon as usual.
- If you want to use some other flag, you have to redo the first
step again.
