Try

    set "GUILE_LOAD_PATH=C:\Programme\LilyPond\usr\share\guile\1.7"

Does that help?  Make sure that you are not using Cygwin's guile.exe,
that won't work.

Great.  Yes, ideally that should not be necessary.  Maybe renaming the
scripts is a good start.  How do you operate convert-ly.py?  I was
thinking of adding BAT wrappers that invoke

   python convert-ly -e
