Thanks. So basically "yes", I guessed as much.
I just need to re-associate the new version of lilypond with .ly
files...
If you have a chance please check these instructions for correctness;
I'm not a regular Windows user, and there might be errors and/or
problems due to my clumsy testing.
Well, it doesn't appear to work ...
Bear in mind I'm running Windows, so I don't want to run lilypond from
the command line. I double-click a .ly file, it runs lilypond, and my
pdf appears (or at least it does, running the old version).
What I did was open a command shell as administrator, and extracted
lilypond into Program Files. I then opened a .ly file and - nothing
happened!
Or rather, nothing useful happened. A popup window opened, and
disappeared. No log files, no output, no nothing.
Okay. Tried to run it the un-windows way of using the command line.
Complete pain in the ass, I'm afraid. And at least I can see the error
messages ...

So it looks like it's searching the program directory for my include
files, and not the current directory where they actually are! Note that
running the older lilypond correctly compiles the file.
Cheers,
