As it stands, the Makefile doesn't work with Windows.  For
documentation purposes I strongly suggest to cook up a special
Windows Makefile with the same functionality.

If nothing compiles then the Makefile doesn't find the *.ly files in
the `Score' subdirectory.  This means that the VPATH settings don't
work.  Do you use the `CURDIR' variable in the VPATH path elements?

BTW, you can see the exact make rules with

  make -r -R -p Makefile
