Hi Andrew
I agree completely about registry changes but this one's easily undo-able. I'm just experimenting really - I've got Arch Linux working well now in Virtualbox and Lilypond/Frescobaldi also running well.

It's very easy to get point and click going in Linux. I am deeply averse to messing with the Windows 10 registry, no matter how clever the hack may be. But my feelings about the registry are not shared by all. I do all my professional work in Virtualbox Linux with Lilypond happily pointing and clicking away for years. On this list some time ago I posted a HOWTO for Ubuntu in this area, and the NR of course has some other useful info for Linux.
