I have Lilypond 2.19.80 installed on Windows, and it works just fine when used with Frescobaldi. I'm working on a project for which I need to be able to make Lilypond callable from my command line, which presently, I can't seem to achieve. For instance, when I enter lilypond --version, I get this
message:

'lilypond' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I included the Lilypond executable system variable path to SYSTEM variable
"path": C:\User\nagym\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin

I also tried including the same path to the USER variable "path" but with
no luck.

Note that the Frescobaldi, which once again, works compiles .ly files
flawlessly has this path as default:
C:\User\nagym\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-windows.exe

Those are both very unusual paths. Are you sure that is where LilyPond is installed?

From a normal cmd.exe prompt, you can search for the executable with:

  dir /r /s /b c:lilypond.exe

Or from a PowerShell prompt, you can do the equivalent:

  Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path C: -Filter lilypond.exe

NOTE: For both of these, replace `C:` with a different drive letter as appropriate.
