I'm sorry but I can't offer much help. You really do have to go through
the whole process of getting the package in the distribution. If you
have questions, you need to ask *specific* questions rather than just
profess general ignorance. And, since this is a package, the first
thing you need to do is move the questions to the appropriate mailing
ilst - cygwin-apps .
As far as the package at lilypond.org, you should contact that site for
help and questions.
