Re: Cygwin install - test.ly not registered

[Mats Bengtsson]

First of all, rerun setup.exe once more and when you get to the
installation page entitled "Select Packages", make sure that the
package "lilypond" is marked with "2.4.2-1" in the column "Current",
otherwise, click on the arrow circle until it says "2.4.2-1" under
"new" so it installs correctly.

You could also verify that the package is installed at all, by opening
the cygwin command window and trying to run the command
lilypond --help
This should result in a list of available options.

Next, make sure that the file really is called test.ly and not
test.ly.txt or anything else.

If these tests show that lilypond is indeed installed and
double-clicking the file does still not work, you could try to
rerun setup.exe and choose "reinstall" of the lilypond package,
since double-clicking a .ly file should certainly work out of the
box.
