So, may we have your votes and comments please.

I installed this by adding http://lilypond.org/cygwin as a mirror
and it all seemed to go fine. The examples (-1,-2,-3) compiled correctly and looked great in acroread. I also tried a couple of the mutopia files, which
seemed fine to my untrained eye. My only question is the ".midi" files
produced;
are these supposed to be sound files?
This definitely has my vote, giving anyone with a Windows machine and free disk space a good music publishing system, too, is great!
Thanks for all your work, Jan.

I completely agree with JDF, as this package gets my vote, too. I'd like to add that I do so because it absolutely *rocks* that Jan is taking over a complex distribution like teTeX/LaTeX, despite the fact Cygwin is *not* the primary platform for this individual. I don't know many contributors out there who would be willing to put such a large commitment into a project that they use infrequently [if at all]. Eventhough I've not been blessed with musical talent, if this makes Jan's life easier, then I'm all for it!

Cheers,
Nicholas
