New issue 1730 by address@hidden: Documentation for  
lilypond-windows.exe and -dgui option

I suggest words along these lines be added to the command line summary in  
usage.  (FWIW I've now found the -dgui option as help on the -d option -  
run lilypond -dhelp and it's documented, but this command seems suffiently  
important to document in its own right).

"Here are a few interesting options.

    'gui'   Runs LilyPond silently and redirect its progress and error  
output to a log file."

Somewhere near, could we also have something like this:

"Windows users will see that there are two versions of the lilypond program  
on their machine - lilypond.exe and lilypond-windows.exe.  By default  
lilypond.exe outputs progress information to the command line.   
Lilypond-windows.exe returns to the command line immediately and outputs no  
progress information at all.  The -dgui option can be used to direct output  
to a log file."
