Just starting to try out Lilypond, and finding a few problems in getting to work at all.
The OS is Windows 7, if that makes any difference.
1) Double-clicking on a .ly file gets into Wordpad, and doesn't compile the file. To compile it I have to drag-and-drop the file onto the Lilypond icon on the desktop. This doesn't seem to conform to the documentation.
2) Once it's compiled there's no output, just a log file without errors (see below).
